| i'd like to see yahoo, espn, and microsoft
So far, all of the stats I've seen have been /., ars technica, and other geek oriented, OSS supportive sites.
A site like neowin, known for windows fan boys would be interesting, as would a large general interest site like yahoo or espn.

I think this might be tied to more of the techy people moving over to Linux, which in Linux you generally use a Mozilla based browser.

| Browser Trend
And so the trend continues. This is sure to piss the people who want Firefox to reamain small off! I don't know why though, it is a better browser. IE 6 on SP2 comes very close though.

Just what web developers need. More browser fragmentation.
I wish these companies would just stick to standards, regardless of the branding of the browser.

Technical communities will be more likely to have Mozilla/FireFox users than the general community. Going by TheCounter.com's stats ( »www.thecounter.com/stats/2004/Se···wser.php ), IE 5.x+ holds 91% of the market and Mozilla variants hold about 4%.

| Marketing Hype for a small minority
More marketing hype for a small minority of users.
Millions and millions of people won't notice or care to know.
While many of the non-tech people I had shown FireFox to, all said that it was too much work to install themes, extensions and plug-ins.

I'm actually a convert from Mozilla/Firefox back to IE after the SP2 Updates. The new integrated Popup Blocker works seamlessly for me. The additional security updates help as well.
Overall, is it perfect... no, but it suits my needs perfectly with other protection I'm running. Run what is suitable for you, try out other platforms if they interest you, determine what is best for you. Don't jump on the bashing bandwagon without actually having some background yourself.

Not if you're a Web Designer, it doesn't. IE's about 5 years behind on standards compliance.

As a web developer, I don't mind if FireFox (and the other Mozilla variants) surge in popularity. It might mean more pressure on Microsoft to increase how well IE supports standards like CSS2. It's not like there's a sudden resurgence of Netscape 4. *shudder*

You know, that might actually be a valid point....
If it weren't for the fact that browsers like Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc. strive to be standards compliant. That is to say, so long as you code to established standards, your pages will render the same in any given browser.
IE, on the other hand, simply DOESN'T, or at least, doesn't conform to updated standards. And, the things that it doesn't support, tend to make developing basic content more time consuming (read expensive) and more restricted to just that browser. If anything, IE is the source of fragmentation at this point (shocking, eh?).

The anti-MS crowd jump on any bit of info that looks negative for MS and then exaggerate it's importance. To them being anti-MS is a religion and not just a technical or user decision. |
