Firefox continues to kick butt ....

Hi,

 

As web designers and developers, we always have to keep an eye out on the browser trends, so we know where to focus. To that point, Firefox continues to eat away at the market, putting pressure on the other browser makers, which means in the end, better web browsers!

 

From an article on Readwriteweb:

 

Mozilla, the non-profit organization behind the popular Firefox browser, just published its first quarterly State of the Internet report. With over 350 million users worldwide, Mozilla collects a lot of interesting data and the organization decided to start sharing more of this data in these quarterly reports. Firefox's worldwide market share is now hovering near 30%, with Europe (39%) and South America (31%) leading the pack and North America coming in last (26%), even though it has the highest total number of Firefox users.

 

According to Mozilla, Firefox usage in Russia, for example, grew about 20% in the last quarter. In Indonesia, Firefox's market share is now over 60%. It'll be interesting to see how Microsoft's new browser choice screen for Windows 7 in Europe will influence these numbers over the next few months.
