Comments on: Is FireFox really this popular?

Just checked and noticed on my content rich Web sites, still up to 69% of my visitors use IE (travel and home biz related). Though on my blog, yup, the majority are FF users up to this point (FF 59%, IE 36%).

Maybe FF is a blogger’s private love?

@ Mike, sometimes I still discover a bunch of sites that seem to code exclusively for IE. Silly, I know. Some even state their system (or whatever they offer) only works properly in IE. Perhaps the majority of *their* visitors (80+%?) still use IE?

BTW, I, too, am hoping for more popularity for Firefox since that browser rocks! lol

I think Firefox is more popular among people ‘in the know’ – thankfully IE is becoming more the tool of large enterprises (where the IT dept needs to apply certain policies or whatever) and those who don’t know any better.

It’s great to see though!

Thanks, I was wondering if anyone had caught on to the little “prank.”

I have seen similar trends over and over! My stats keep indicating that, of the people that visit my blog, they overwhelmingly use Firefox. I too was amazed.

Nice picture of the “check” by the way! Ha.

Firefox rocks any browser, but I think it’s because sites base their coding on Firefox now. Any other browser will mess up the theme.
