Firefox - Crossing the chasm?
By Rajesh Setty on Sat 07 May 2005, 8:55 AM - 1 Comment
Tim O’Reilly, for whom I have great respect, has a great post on
O’Reilly radar discussing a breakdown of visitors by browsers they are
using.
Brief summary
This year
Internet Explorer: 54.66%
Firefox: 35.08%
Last year
Internet Explorer: 75.53%
Netscape: 19.89%
The verdict is clear - Firefox is gaining a ton of momentum and there is no sign of slowing down. Hats off!
- Very good may not be good enough
- The Chasm on the Road to Distinction
- What can we learn from Google?
- Browser plug-in idea: Launching a group of websites simultaneously - Updated: solution already exists

Hi,
Just wanted to point out that Firefox is more secure than IE. I read somewhere that IE is embedded in the OS, whereas FF runs on top of the OS. I’m unsure what that means technically, can anyone please elaborate?
