Firefox Usage Near 25% In Europe

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%."

morning. Now I have

Re:Two important questions...

[Timesprout]

Back then there was a lot of IE-only web sites that used MS "extensions" or bug workarounds

I see some Firefox only sites now and I think they suck as hard as the IE only ones did so no change there.

Now that standard compliance is somewhat enforced we can have better AJAX-enabled web sites for example

Ajax, generally attributed to MS as concept and first implementation has been around for years and while you can do some nice things with it, the wisdom of dumping large amounts of Javascript onto the client is debatable.

We have SVG coming (FX and Opera already support it pretty well, IE lagging behind)

Again, SVG has been around since the 90's and really not likely to revolutionize the web at this stage.

Firefox 3.0 will have a renderer fully based on vectors (gecko 1.7 AFAIR)

I can still remember being told years ago by the Mozilla people that Gecko and XUL was going to rule computing platforms. I'm not holding my breath at this point.

Fx3.0 will also have a native support for OpenID

Personally I felt Passport and Liberty were a bad idea in the first place and the same applies here.

So basically nothing all that new or revolutionary, just some small incremental improvements.
