Firefox and browser stats
Friday, September 24th, 2004Has anyone else noticed an increase in the number of people using Firefox/Mozilla in their stats recently? I realise that there is a huge Spread Firefox campaign currently going on and the number of bloggers/internet interested people account for some of the increase.
But there has been a spike in my stats this week because of the return of a UK television series – those searching for the lady in question are from the general internet population, yet over the past few weeks I’ve seen the browser share for Internet Explorer drop from 86+% to 75%:
If you’re still wondering whether to make the jump, here’s an idea – you can download the Firefox browser and install it (it’s easier than sneezing, honest) then run it alonside Internet Explorer for a while. Take time to see which you prefer. I’m betting you’ll be switching permanently to Firefox before the week is up.
