Free Internet browser Firefox grabs more market share from Microsoft | |
|

| Time: 08:11 EST/13:11 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||

The upstart free Web browser Firefox nibbled away more ground from Microsoft over the past month and now has a market share of nearly five percent, a research firm said Tuesday. The group WebSideStory said usage of Firefox, created by the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation, has almost doubled in the past three months to 4.95 percent of all Internet users. Usage of Mozilla still trails Internet Explorer by a wide margin: the Microsoft browser built into the Windows operating system was used by 90.3 percent of Web users, the research firm said. But that is down nearly three percentage points since October when Firefox was released. Browsers from Netscape and others had about 2.7 percent of the market, WebSideStory said. | ||

| I don't think Linux is an option for the 'ultra-poor', more like the ultra-cheap. |

| SlimBrowser is much faster than Firefox! |

| Even better than Maxthon is Avant Browser. www.avantbrowser.com |

| Montana - In Slimbrowser, go to Tools>Options>New Window and uncheck 'Auto New Window' |

| Montana, I choose Avant over maxthon for the frequent updates and it's excellent notification of the updates, and the interface. Those are my two MAIN reasons. |
