From the article: "Firefox, an open-source browser collectively developed by the Internet community under the Mozilla Foundation, had a 6.8 percent share as of April 29, an increase from 3.0 percent since WebSideStory began tracking Firefox separately in October."

    but I haven't run into any sites lately that require IE. Recent Mozilla handles everything just fine. Apart form some minor rendering weirdness on a few sites I haven't had to jump over to IE for anything.

    ...for, I dunno, *this* page, which still doesn't render right in Firefox.

    Maybe once FireFox gets a bit more bloated, they'll let it in.

    I don't care if it's 90,000 hectares. That lake was not my doing.

    Interestingly, a new survey done by www.windowsupdate.com shows that 99% of the hits come from Internet Explorer.
