FireFox 3 beats Internet Explorer 6

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

fierfoxeatingieOne great milestone for Mozilla FireFox 3 browser and in the battle against the more pathetic dinosaur of the browser world, Internet Explorer, was achieved early this year when FireFox 3 beated Internet Explorer 6 on most used web browsers statistics (at least according to StatCounters statistics).

Currently the lead is however still kept by Internet Explorer with it’s 7th release which is used by approximately 40% of users while FireFox 3 has around 24% of users. Internet Explorer 6 was left behind FireFox 3 with userbase of around 22%.

So despite this milestone Internet Explorer still has strong grasp of users worldwide. However as an example in Finland FireFox 3 is doing even better, having taken a 47% share of all computers in our country and leaving Internet Explorer 7 with only 29% of users we here in Finland are clearly leading the change away from Microsoft controlled browser monopoly (for more detailed statistics of browser use in Finland click here).
