Firefox 3 Already Rules the Roost

Barence writes in with a data point on Firefox 3 adoption: it's been available for 10 days, and already one site is seeing 55% of its Firefox-using visitors on version 3. "Microsoft still has three out of ten people running an old version of its browser more than 18 months after Internet Explorer 7 launched, while Firefox has converted more than half of its users to the latest version in just over a week. That should set a few alarm bells ringing in Redmond."

    You can run Wife 2.0 and Wife 3.0 beta at the same time if you're careful.

    >>IE5, of course. Why? Because that's what was installed on the machine when we bought it.

    Please have a talk with your father-in-law.

    Its for the good of the internet.

    IE7 and Firefox are basically equal in terms of features, unless you care about add-ons (and personally, I have yet to see one FF addon that excites me). Firefox used to be better than IE, mostly because it had tabs. Now IE has tabs, and the playing field is level again.

    WOW. Clearly, you're a Slider. What colour is the Golden Gate Bridge in your reality? Did Bush get reelected there? And are they still coming out with new Firefly episodes there?

    Not to mention that every study of "subliminal" advertising has debunked it as BS. I'll take my psuedo-science on astrology.com; I'd rather not have to deal with it on /.
