Firefox Usage Continues to Grow

News 1 Comment »

Good news to all the Firefox user! If you are still using IE to browse my blog, it’s time for you to tryout Mozilla Firefox!

The release of Firefox 1.5 has helped Mozilla gain additional
traction against IE, according to details of a survey released on
Wednesday by Web statistics firm NetApplications.com. The market share
of the alternative browser reached 8.84 percent in November, up over
one percentage point since September.

The findings suggest that
Mozilla could still be on track — although a bit later than hoped —
to attain a 10 percent market share by the end of 2005.
