Firefox: 20% in Europe, 15% in the U.S.!

Firefox World 200601

20% is a really nice number. Not only because, well, it’s a lot of people, but because, unlike the MS fanboys/apologists usually say, Firefox isn’t just used by “geeks” or “technical people”.

Because, sure as hell, geeks (and I consider myself one) don’t comprise 20% of the world’s population. Not even 5%.

This proves that ordinary, non-technically inclined people are also capable of being aware of Internet Explorer’s many problems and lack of modern features, and when aware of alternatives (and here I have to praise Spread Firefox for doing a great job in letting people know that “Internet Explorer” is not “The Internet”), can actually switch.
