Tim O’Reilly writes about the percentages of various web browsers that are use to access the various oreillynet.com web sites. They are currently showing Internet Explorer at 54.66% and Firefox at 35.08%. O’Reilly’s audience do, of course, tend towards the geekier end of the web browsing audience but they tend to lead where the rest of the world will follow.
And they big story isn’t so much the size of the numbers (thought they are, of course, impressive) it’s the speed of the changes. In October last year, Firefox was at just just 3.24%.
I’ve said it before and I’ll no doubt say it again, but if you haven’t yet switched from IE to Firefox then you’re deliberately crippling your web browsing experience.
