ZDNet is reporting that, according to the most recent set of statistics from Web monitoring firm XiTi, Mozilla’s most popular brower is now the browser of choice for one in five of Europe’s surfers, at least at home. The fact that all the measurements were taken on a Sunday means that the figure isn’t accurate for the whole market, though, since business PCs tend to have lower Firefox usage rates.” From the article: “Other Web metrics companies produce more conservative estimates of Firefox’ market share. In November, OneStat.com reported that Firefox had achieved a global market share of 11.5 percent, although it found that only 4.9 percent of people were using it in the UK.
Many indicators are showing recently that Firefox is really taking more places against IE and other browsers. The big advertising compains that are tooking place recently to create TV ad and all other activities of the SpreadFirefox are really special to make this browser more and more popular.
But I’m wondering why Europe this year ? What about USA, china, japan … I find a large community of users there and it will be more interesting to see how things are going there.
