Firefox Continues to Bite into IE Usage

Posted by Zonk on from the watch-out-for-the-dew-claw dept.

InformationSage writes "According to Information Week, Firefox usage is now over 6 percent, pulling Internet Explorer usage down below 90 percent. 'Firefox is currently the only browser that is increasing market share on a monthly basis, and it is growing at the direct expense of Microsoft's Internet Explorer'"

    IE7 pull this back for them with:

    Better security
    Tab Browsing
    Conformance to standards

    I'd bet a lot of those "Firefox" hits will actually be Internet Explorer users, spoofing their user-agent strings, so they can "sneak" into poorly written Gecko-only sites...

    Yeah well my site gets 100% Firefox users.

    Sub BrowserDetect()

    If Browser != "Firefox";

    RedirectBrowser("www.getfirefox.com");

    End If
    End Sub
