Firefox Tops 20% Market Share
For the first time since the early days before the departure of Netscape, a competing browser to Microsoft Internet Explorer has reached and exceeded 20% market share. Firefox (www.getfirefox.com) has managed to achieve a 20.78% market share reducing Internet Explorer to 69.77% (Market Share). This is a huge achievement in the browser market share battle. Further, Internet Explorer 6 has fallen to just 21.53%. As the market share continues to fall for Internet Explorer and rise for other standards-based competing browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, etc), it results in a greater push to force IE to adopt newer web standards. Newer standards supported across all major vendors means better development and improved user experiences.
