I note with interest that the release of Firefox 3 set a new Guinness World Record of the highest number of recorded downloads in a day at just over 8 million taking their browser share in Europe to over 28% and 16% in the US. What surprised me was the range of uptake and usage, for example in Germany Firefox has reached nearly 40% whilst other countries show much lower penetration. It seems clear that Firefox will dominate the voluntary download browser market for some years to come but there are others in the wings, such as Flock. I’ve been using and evangelising about Firefox for some years and it’s nice to see it start to dominate and Firefox 3 is certainly a step forward.
