Recently, I’ve started using Firefox more regularly to about a 60/40 split with Firefox more than Internet Explorer. Apparently I’m not the only one moving this direction. Saw this over at Leoville:

Slashdot notes that Firefox is gaining on Internet Exploder. According to the latest Engadget log files, only 57% of their users are using IE. MSIE has a 60% share on Leoville so far this month. Mozilla 25%. Safari 7%. I’m using Omniweb on the Mac these days and I’m loviin’ it.

Stats at this blog indicate about 22% are using the Mozilla engine (labelled as Netscape 5x), so the stats here are similar to what other sites are experiencing.

What do I like about Firefox? The tabs are sweet, less crashing, less malicious attacks (at least until/if it becomes #1, and then I expect this to change), plus there are some nifty plugins (called extensions) like Chatzilla, a simple browser-based IRC client.

I even changed my default browser on my main work system, which is not a good statement for my individual support for IE. Someday again will it be like when IE was #2 to Netscape? Who here remembers those days?

Did this post make you go hmm?
