An interesting article from Zdnet.be. With a 21% market share, Belgian has an average compared to other European countries. Firefox is used most often in Slovenia with a 47,9 percentage. Read the article for more details (notice: it's in dutch).
I think this is a good evolution . It doesn't matter if Firefox or Internet Explorer is the most performant and secure browser. Diversity is just good. It not only gives us a choice, a vulnerability in one product doesn't expose us all at once. I would have liked to see a third one gaining in market share. Maybe I'm just dreaming.
Browser Statistics Month by Month
| 2007 | IE7 | IE6 | IE5 | Fx | Moz | S | O |
| June | 19.7% | 37.3% | 1.5% | 34.0% | 1.4% | 1.3% | 1.8% |
| May | 19.2% | 38.1% | 1.5% | 33.7% | 1.3% | 1.4% | 1.7% |
| April | 19.1% | 38.4% | 1.7% | 32.9% | 1.3% | 1.5% | 1.6% |
| March | 18.0% | 38.7% | 2.0% | 31.8% | 1.3% | 1.6% | 1.6% |
| February | 16.4% | 39.8% | 2.5% | 31.2% | 1.4% | 1.7% | 1.5% |
| January | 13.3% | 42.3% | 3.0% | 31.0% | 1.5% | 1.7% | 1.5% |
So Firefox is still gaining in share. I have used it since version 0.6 and I still prefer it as my main browser together with some of my favorite extensions:
If you don't like firefox, try Opera or Safari. Diversity is good for our security.
