Firefox Usage Climbing In Europe

sebFlyte writes "ZDNet is reporting that, according to the most recent set of statistics from Web monitoring firm XiTi, Mozilla's most popular brower is now the browser of choice for one in five of Europe's surfers, at least at home. The fact that all the measurements were taken on a Sunday means that the figure isn't accurate for the whole market, though, since business PCs tend to have lower Firefox usage rates." From the article: "Other Web metrics companies produce more conservative estimates of Firefox' market share. In November, OneStat.com reported that Firefox had achieved a global market share of 11.5 percent, although it found that only 4.9 percent of people were using it in the UK."

Fascinating. I never used firefox in the UK and I wouldn't have guessed that 4.9% of firefox' users did.

Sorry.

I'm progressively switching to konqueror ...

... since Firefox 1.5. Really, like Linus said, I can't stand Gnome 2.10 integration.

Konqueror is becoming better and better, and is really an alternative to firefox now
