Firefox is now the world’s most popular browser

Posted on 21. Dec, 2009 by in Browser Wars

Data released by StatCounter indicates that Firefox 3.5 is (for now) the world’s most popular browser, having edged ahead of Internet Explorer 7.

Looking at the data, it’s quite possible that Firefox 3.5 won’t retain the top spot for long as Internet Explorer 8 is catching up fast, and will get a further push from Windows 7 sales.

No matter what browser you happen to be a fan of, you have to admit that that Mozilla’s dethroning of Microsoft’s iron grip on the browser chart is very impressive and quite an achievement.

    With Firebug still unbeaten and stuff like support for MathML, no wonder it’s currently the world’s most popular.

    Although personally, I use Chrome for day-to-day use.

    Another thing why Mozilla should be used instead of IE; http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8465038.stm
