6 months ago if anyone had asked me what sort of browsers that people browsing my site use I would have said “well, about 85% use Internet Explorer”; Mozilla/Firefox barely registered on my list. However, their time has certainly come – 40.2% of my visitors now use Firefox, and 0.9% Mozilla. That’s a combined total of 41.2% which is only 0.8% off of the 42% of Internet Explorer users.
How many people total to 0.8%? Well, let’s say on an average day I get 600 hits, that means that (if my maths is right) 0.8% is 4.8 people. Let’s round that up to 5. Only five more people visit my website with Internet Explorer than Mozilla &/or Firefox! That’s quite impressive; for the Mozilla corp to have gained around 40x the popularity (based on my stats) in a 6 month period compared to IE which has been going for years. If that doesn’t say something about Mozilla/Firefox, then I don’t know what does.
