Firefox Doubles Marketshare

Thursday, Apr. 28 2005 | Author: Scrivs

Google, Linux, and Firefox are on the way up. Microsoft is on the way down.

A survey of 168,000 surfers hitting business web sites has found Internet Explorer has lost nearly two percentage points of market share. IE’s open source nemesis Firefox, meanwhile, doubled its presence.

Janco Associates found IE had 83.7 per cent of the market for this month, down from 84.85 per cent, while Firefox grew from 4.23 per cent to 10.28 per cent. Janco believes Firefox could take 25 per cent market share in the next quarter.

25% by next quarter seems like a bit of a strech, but I guess it depends on what sites you are looking at. Obviously Firefox dominates the stats here at FG. Geeks know best.

25% does seem a little of a long shot. But it’s nice to see it growing.

I just wonder how many people are FORCED to switch the header sent by their browsers (Opera, FF and others) to get some sites to let them in. I think that only helps IE’s stats.

Heh, makes sense. Notice how Microsoft is now trying to be all friendly and open to its competitors. Heh, they know the end is near
