IE Dropping, Now Near 70% In Europe

Posted by kdawson on from the ascendent-fox dept.

Kevin Spiritus lets us know that XiTi Monitor, a French Web survey institute, has published its browser barometer for July, and Internet Explorer continues to lose ground. "The ascension of Firefox continues... Nearly 28% average use rate in Europe in the beginning of July 2007, with a progression in the totality of the 32 European countries studied. Firefox doesn't loose ground in any of the countries."

    No, no, the story that was posted earlier this week was about this study. This story is the study. Even though they have the exact same data, they're entirely different: This one has graphs!

    In Europe people are smarter and do things better. Deal with it.

    Nono, I think they mean to say that Firefox doesn't fight dirty and throw dirt (loose ground) at the opponents.

    Come on ./ editors. The dupes are getting really annoying.
    Yeah, for the past ten years they've been fine, but just this week it's started to piss me off too.

    Well, it seems that Firefox only has a 28% approval rating. Guess who else only has (at most) a 28% approval rating? GWB!!!

    George W Bush = Firefox.

    Stay the course, guys. Victory against Microsoft is just around the corner.

    This is not a dupe.
    The previous story was about Firefox gaining market share.
    This story is about IE "loosing" ground.

    Completely different.

    This is a hard one for non-native English speakers, because "lose" is pronounced so bizarrely it sounds like it needs two Os.

    i think "lose" should be spelled with two O's and a Z just like it sounds... like booze.

    Oh come on, let's not loose site of the things that defiantly matter here. We can play fast and lose with the little facts so much as we get the big ones write everyday. I wonder if alot of people woulda even noticed the affect of a little mispelling like that.
