    That's interesting news, more people still visit my site using Internet Explorer, though.

    It's normal. IE6 is an old browser. Most of the people are using IE7, and also now IE8. But, in the nearly feature (3-4 years) I see Firefox to be number 1 web browser.

    Many people use IE because they think IE is the internet. They don't know about browsers :D.

    BTW, that's interesting news. I hate IE because of the compatibility issues and its less secure.

    Most of my visitors are still using IE too. Not surprisingly, Firefox 2 is ahead of Firefox 3 too :)

    At my first time in the net.. I was in favor of IE, but I got irritated
    when it suddenly closed the tab I'm using, then I discovered
    FF now life is easier with it, I have never used IE since then.

    I think IE will always have more people as it default with windows, but FF will catch up!

    IMO, It is not true "There are more Firefox users than IE6 users " .
    It is true "many users opting to use Firefox or an alternative browser rather than opting for IE7 ".
    I am one of those who prefer FF2/FF3 rather than IE8 .
    The reason is obviously.
    IE6/7/8 is totally wrong and not w3c standard compliant .

    It's also reported on ZDNet, NetApps, and two other wire services. Believe it.
