Firefox reaches 25% market share
May 28th 2007 16:30
Firefox, the free, open-source Internet browser from Mozilla, has finally hit 25% market share, causing a little bit of Cold Sweat from the Internet Explorer people.
I love Firefox... my first experience using it was like a revelation. It made so much sense - tabbed browsing! Adding extensions! Better security!
Now, when I use someone else's computer, and they don't have Firefox installed, I think: what kind of backwards hillbilly is this?
Not you, of course. Ha ha ha....
Sure, I can understand that some people actually prefer IE, but I'm skeptical. I suspect that they can't be bothered to install it, and they're resistant to change.
And, of course, Microsoft has finally capitulated with IE, making it more 'like Firefox' with the tabbed browsers and all... but I think a large portion of users are becoming distrustful of Microsoft, worried that they'll spontaneously install components that you don't want.
If you don't have Firefox yet, GO GET IT!
