Firefox: slow and steady growth

Posted on Wednesday, January 11th, 2006 at 7:14 am.

The web browser war continues, with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer’s dominance slipping to 85.05% market share in 2005 from 90.31% in 2004.

Microsoft’s loss was Mozilla Firefox’s gain: Firefox now has 9.57% market share. May not sound like much, but Firefox is showing steady growth, moving from an “early adopter product” to one used by the unwashed masses like you and me.

Microsoft are due to release a new version of IE soon, but have also announced they will no longer be supporting a version for the Mac. Learn more about the browser wars at ClickZ
