    this was pretty obvious . Firefox is way better and has more features . Almost everyone I know has already switched to it.

    what? IE has 70% usage?

    When I check analytics, 97% of my site users use firefox, and we're talking 8k uniques/day


    I would have thought FF would be like 80%, chrome 10%, IE 5% and the rest make up the extra 5%

    Yeah, Keep it up FireFox, We are with you :)

    I believe that IE is still on top because, in Asia, mostly Net Cafes are just with default Explorer "Internet Explorer" mostly cafe don't install other softwares, & I believe almost 75% users here use internet at Cafes. So, I think its only reason for Internet Explorer.

    Depends if the site you are connecting to relies on ActiveX. IE isn't so bad as a basic browser, but firefox is better. I find Opera to be quicker for surfing though.

    When IE was having the monopoly, it did not care for customer requirements for upgradation...and gathered a lot of annoyance....for which it is paying a price..now...

    When you are a leader...do take good care of your followers....or else...you are axing your own foot:cool:

    I'm in the Army, something I have noticed with all Government computers is they only have IE. No FF or any other option, and you may not download anything without administrator permission, etc.

    Microsoft - among the worlds biggest company for tech computer uses IE as their official and default browser.
    Almost every user using Mirosoft OS has IE installed.

    I have have 70% of my visitors ff on my sites. This is probably because my visitors are mostly webmasters. As long as corporations keep IE the standard I don't think FF is going to make big with the general consumer.

    And that is bad news from the web developers' perspective. I as a programmer already have to worry about an extra browser when being asked to make sure cross-browser compatibility is preserved by the code. Wondering what's next, a Yahoo browser?

    1 out of every 5 web surfers use Firefox. THAT is big and growing while IE is shrinking. In Europe, 1 out of 2 use Firefox. THAT is bigger!
