Firefox 3 statistics: weekly results

Thanks to the enchanting output of Firefox 3.0, Mozilla’s market share of browsers has grown to its maximum . According to Net Applications operational statistics, at the end of last week it was 19.17%, which is three quarters of a percentage point more than in May. The share of Firefox 3.0 alone has grown from zero to 4%.

The main victim of the “Fire Fox” was Internet Explorer, whose share fell the most during the same period (to 72.95%). In addition, the share of Safari has decreased (to 6.15%). Opera released the release and was able to maintain its position and even slightly increased from 0.71% to 0.75% (for comparison, among the Habr visitors, Firefox comes first with 42.8%, Opera with 24.3%, and IE's share is 14.4%, this is the statistics for the last week).

True, experts point out that Firefox user statistics can be partially “blown out” because some users can be counted twice if they used Firefox 2.0 first, and then downloaded Firefox 3.0 and visited the same site with counters. The exact picture will be formed only in a few months.
