Firefox Past 10 Percent Share | |
|

Web analytics firm Net Applications announced Monday that the open source Firefox browser has finally passed 10 percent market share, according to the firm's statistics for March. The 10.05 percent usage was up from 9.75 percent in February. Microsoft's Internet Explorer still holds a commanding lead with 84.7 percent of the market, Net Applications said. However, according to another analytics firm, Firefox had already surpassed 10 percent market share last November. OneStat.com reported at the time that Mozilla browsers had reached 11.51 percent usage globally based on a sample of two million users from 100 companies. | ||

Looks like Parkkker was wrong - again.

Browsers usage use to fluctuate all over as each new release of Netscape and IE came and was eventually surpassed.
The good news is that 95% of the Firefox users are running Firefox on Windows and that won't change much. |

Latch, there is no real good way to measusre the weight of IE's actual strength.
A very large number of ogranizations - of all sizes, uses proxy servers like ISA Server 2000/2004 [I even use it at home in front of 9 systems]. The point is, most IE users - as measured - are not single users, but single interfaces - the external interfaces on countless proxies. The reverse is largely true of FF users - where most organizations of any size, do not use it, and in fact prevent it as a matter of policy. Since so many IE users are not actually seen, or counted, owing to how they are operated, I suspect that actual percentages of FF are quite low as an actual percentage. In our own orgranization we do use FF, AOL, Mozilla, Opera and many other lessor browser distributions in support of testing for development purposes [for content, or commerce applications]. As a business owner, I do regret the many browsers and even modest use of them - it just costs more to adjust code to support how they render pages and even images. By far, the cleanest and most consistent experience is found in IE 5.5 and greater - the most challenge is opposite Opera. No matter how compliant one codes, IE simply provides a cleaner experience [from what we have seen over the last five years]. While IE 7 holds promise, I do struggle with its design - I just personally do not like the UI, but it does continue to render sites more consistently. |
