Firefox Usage Near 25% In Europe

Posted by kdawson on from the edge-of-the-wedge dept.

PARENA writes "French researcher Xiti claims that Mozilla Firefox keeps winning terrain in Europe. 24.1% of Internet users in Europe use Firefox. Slovenia (44.5%), Finland (41.3%), Croatia (36.5%), and Germany (36.2%) lead the way, followed by a group of mostly Eastern European countries. Remarkably, The Netherlands is only at 13.3%, right before Andorra. Oceania maintains a slight lead over Europe, at 24.8%; the rest of the world trails at 11.9% to 15.1%."

    The first question for me is why is the US lagging behind on this? Only 2% more Firefox usage than Africa.

    Anyone any ideas why this is?

      And you forgot to leave out: The US is obviously the only place on earth where firefox means you're far superior than anyone else, and if you run it, it gives you the God-given gift to know all there is to know, and treat everyone else as an ignorant American. Way to stand up for your country and make yourself look even more ignorant.

      Because you use a different browser, obviously means that you can talk bad about everyone in your own country as if you're the only one that knows anything at all.

      WAY TO MAKE A STATEMENT!!! WOOHOO! YOU ARE OFFICIALLY COOL!!!!!!!

      Everyone, please..applaud him for his insatiable insight and delicious banter, for he is the almighty anti-American firefox user!!

      Great speech. Shouldn't you be somewhere picketting?

    Who cares about browser usage in the third world? If the question were "why is the US becoming a third world nation" you would get a more informed answer.

    Why do the more rabid users of Firefox/Linux/etc always look down upon the people who use IE/Windows/etc? Who cares what people use there is not a CLEAR choice that is superior in every way. So it is opinion not fact.
