Firefox Market Share Slips

August 15, 2005 – 3:20 pm
Hearing news that Firefox’s market share slipped from 8.71% to 8.07% from June to July while Internet Explorer’s edged up about one percent, a friend emailed me: Apparently Firefox is losing market share.

Thirteen percent of all blogs that Technorati tracks are updated weekly or more, said the report, and 55% of all new […]
