It’s been relatively quiet regarding the number of users Mozilla and Microsoft’s respective browser has lately, surveys that was more common than the actual users a few months ago. Now the analyst company OneStat.com has published a new worldwide user survey and it says that Firefox has increased with 1.14 percentage since May 2006, while Internet Explorer as dropped with 2.12 percentage during the same period. IE is of course still the dominator with a whopping 83.05% of the users worldwide, while Firefox is found at 12.93%. If you look at individual countries it’s Australia and Germany that are the most rebellious.
24.23% of all browsing Australians use Firefox, but that’s nothing compared to our neighbours in the south, Germany. In Germany Firefox has 39.02% of the browser market, quite impressive. It’s going to be very interesting to see how the struggle will continue when Microsoft launches IE7 and Firefox 2.0 arrives.
