Firefox Gaining Market Share

Posted in Firefox, Microsoft, Statistics by Brajesh on February 5th, 2007

Firefox has been gaining browser market share really fast, it seems. January statistics are 31% for Firefox compared to 42.3% for IE6 and 13.3% for IE7. Even though Firefox has its share of issues/bugs (features :-) ), and I like IE7’s beautiful rendering of fonts, I would love to see Firefox gaining some more market and mind share.
