Firefox Reigns Supreme
Blogged in Internet by Matt on Thursday May 26, 2005I was browsing over some of the news posts today on Spread Firefox and saw that c|net has put up a comparison of the seven major web browsers on the market. Our good friend Firefox came in Number 1 with Safari RSS and Netscape 8 coming in tied for second. At the bottom of this list is none other then Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 (with Service Pack 2), Opera 8, and Deepnet Explorer.
Rapidly forcing IE from desktop dominance is Mozilla Firefox. This open-source browser receives our highest rating, in part because it includes tabbed browsing and RSS feeds, is very easy to use, and is well supported with a variety of third-party plug-ins. Firefox’s popularity has recently helped unearth a few vulnerabilities, but we’ve been impressed with the speed and forthrightness with which Mozilla has patched its browser. In short, we just don’t feel as vulnerable surfing the Web with Firefox.
I think this shows the strength that Firefox has gathered over the past year or so, and it will just continue to grow!
