Firefox May Soon Overtake IE In Europe

Posted by kdawson on from the pick-your-stats dept.

peterkern writes "The July browser market share reports are somewhat inconsistent, but if we believe StatCounter, then it looks like Firefox will be overtaking Microsoft IE's market share next month. The two browsers are both within 1 point of 40% market share, IE above and Firefox below. Europeans are more crazy about Firefox than Americans: In Germany, Firefox has a 61% market share, while IE has only 25%. Google Chrome is, according to StatCounter, now above 10%. ConceivablyTech has more details, including market share data from both StatCounter and Net Applications (which as of this month is limiting its free data)."

    Simple.

    Ok, so Americans only make up 5% of the world population, they make up for it in consumption.

    Well it stopped the EU from extorting money from Microsoft. Never mind, they still have ongoing antitrusts with Google and Oracle to keep the coffers filled (and Greece in the black).

    Funny how the customers / businesses were the ones who felt the pain, yet Brussels gets to keep all the money for themselves.

    And debt. $130,000 per US home. Is there any country higher than that?
