So for every Firefox user, there are 10 -- count 'em -- 10 Internet Explorer users. This is news? <yawn>

I'm not convinced. I've seen Microsoft purchase pollsters many times in the past. Even in this thread we see a site which claims that FF has 28% market share.

I believe this is probably closer to the truth when you are looking at technophiles because my own statistics at freeantennas.com show about 32% market share. Freeantennas is the kind of site that attracts a very specific group of people and usually only for one or two visits.

Thus I can say with reasonable confidence that 1 out of three "technically competent" people prefer Firefox. As this number closely agrees with the graph shown in this thread, and the graph is based primarily upon REAL datapoints. It looks like IE is dying a slow and painful death.

Nothing could make me happier except seeing MS do the same thing... but I am a MS hater.

Here are the statistics for one of my web sites for last month:

  Browser Summary
---------------
Listing the top 10 browsers by the number of requests,
sorted by the number of requests.

#reqs: %reqs: browser
------: ------: -------
31,217: 75.64%: MSIE
3,245: 7.86%: Firefox
1,542: 3.74%: Netscape (compatible)
1,479: 3.58%: Safari
1,420: 3.44%: Netscape
372: 0.90%: Mozilla
320: 0.78%: Googlebot
259: 0.63%: Opera
252: 0.61%: msnbot
132: 0.32%: LinkWalker
1,035: 2.51%: [not listed: 73 browsers]

My results match the 10:1 ratio from the news article.
