Firefox Market Share
Jan 3rd, 2009 by sharps
It’s great to see Firefox’s market share is up again this month (according to Net Applications) – over 20% for the first time. The results reveal something interesting – that Firefox is increasingly the browser of choice (ie. large residential user base) whereas IE is still the corporate standard.
Just as a reference point for myself I took a quick look at the page view stats from this site and Firefox (all versions) just edges out IE (all versions) – 43.4% vs 43.2% respectively. I assume some of the Gecko (4.4%) numbers may be Firefox as well but I’ve kept it separate.
Page views from Windows (all versions) is 60%, Linux (all distros) is 29% and OS/X is 8.1%.
It will be interesting to see how that changes over the next year.
