Mozilla’s Firefox Attains 20% Usage
During the first and last week of October, Mozilla’s Firefox browser accounted for 20% of the total pages requested on the internet. Of course, these numbers are not entirely accurate, as there is a margin of error.
This is the first time since Firefox’s initial release (0.1) in 2002 that Firefox has surpassed the 20% milestone in either a weekly period or a monthly period. In the current week, Firefox is averaging between 19% and 22% usage. This is great news for the Mozilla team. Finally, Internet Explorer is beginning to be conquered.
Firefox has a high percentage of following from those whom work in the computing industry. Most Linux users use Firefox. Also, many enthusiasts who use Windows and Mac OSX use Firefox. The Firefox trend began with enthusiasts and is spreading to the end-user.
