Firefox Achieves 10% Global Market Share
sebFlyte writes "ZDNet is reporting that according to OneStat's latest figures, Firefox has passed the 10 percent market share mark. At 11.5 percent, it's still got a long way to go to reach Internet Explorer's 85.5 percent, but it's heading in the right direction. The report also mentions some odd geographical variation: Firefox's market share is almost three times higher in the US than UK, for example." From the article: "...other companies have noticed a decline in Firefox over recent months. Last month, Web applications provider NetApplications reported that the open source browser's share of the market dropped by 0.7 percentage points from August to September. Although this wasn't the first time that Firefox' share has dropped, RedMonk analyst James Governor said he believes the overall trend for Firefox is upwards."
Once websites start working better with the standard adhering Firefox browser, IE use will begin to drop off as it will annoy users by not showing pages correctly.
"11.5 percent, it's still got a long way to go to reach Internet Explorer's 85.5 percent"
It only needs to make it to 50% + 1%, at least that's what Quebec Seperatists would have us believe.
Saskboy's blog is good. 9 out of 10 dentists agree.
If you're worried about malware, you should switch to a browser that has little chance of ever becoming the dominant browser. While you might think Opera is the obvious choice for this, I think there's a better one.
I am working to spread the firefox browser.
We all know that sex sells.
So try to look at this site http://www.thelovesearch.com/ using Microsoft
Internet Explore. It will try to convince your to use Firefox using
sex appeal.
If we could convince all porn sites to only support Firefox the battle
would be won in a few weeks.
Or am I dreaming now ??
The order is alphabetical!
I am going to start an initiative to recommend that Firefox immediately change the name to Airfox making it the #1 browser on the net.
At 11.5 percent, it's still got a long way to go to reach Internet Explorer's 85.5 percent
Yeah, I can't wait until IE and Firefox are at 85.5%!
But then Microsoft would rename IE to AE - Aardvark Explorer.
Then we add a star or a underscore or something to the beginning of Airfox, therefore coming ahead of them again.
