Mozilla & Firefox grab market share

This still doesn't explain why over ninety five percent of people who visit my website are still using either Internet Explorer five or six.

I have yet to see a eighteen percent increase in non-IE browsers page views.

65.33% MSIE 6
29.13% MSIE 5
0.08% MSIE 4

4.68% Netscape 7
0.10% Netscape 4
0.31% Netscape 3

Because you are one website out of billions.

Just because your website is not seeing an increase, doesn't mean more people aren't adopting a Mozilla based browser.

Just like the examples in the news article, just because they are seeing an increase on THEIR websites, doesn't mean the browser is being adopted.

All it means is their core group of users are switching.

I actually find it sort of funny.

I dislike antihotmail. Some of its touted advantages, I see as disadvantages, such as the no secure log on. There are others, but the site's down.

Not that I am a hotmail user. I used to be, before they were bought by Microsoft, but stopped using it at all after that. It just went downhill fast after MS bought it.

Once Billion Bill and Microsoft bought Hotmail.com the service went down the tubes big time. I wouldn't recommend Hotmail.com to anyone.

It doesn't matter, the big picture numbers still stand and with those high numbers this isn't even WORTH reporting.

I have MSN and my MSN hotmail works like a charm, spam filters are good, interface is nice nifty little features I love.

Should I be suprised someone who has 'anti'hotmail web site and trying to get users to sign up for his crap using hotmails trademark in his domain is going to talk gibberish about hotmail.

Funny why because it's a sample of their core users which for all we know could have nothing to do with the internet as a hole ?

If so that is why I am laughing as well.

No site is visited by everyone, so that means all demographics are slanted. Funny how they seem to all heavily favor IE.

I think it depends on the site. My site doesn't get many visitors and I have a 74% IE turnout and Mozilla has 13.5%. Course, my Mozilla percentage has declined in the past 6 months I have looked while the IE has gone up.

To be honest, I don't care what people use. So long as it gets the job done and they are happy. I use both, but I use IE more often. I think the Bill bashing trolls or the Anti-Mozilla trolls can go back under the bridge where they belong.

No actually it's called moving to another host.

Thanks for taking the time to tell people that my website is offline.

Oh yes using shared web hosting for your ultra secure e-mail service is very secure. I forgot.
