A post in the UKeiG weblog discusses a report released by XiTi, which has compiled usage figures for the firefox browser across different European countries, and averages across different continents. It finds that Finland has the highest percent of users using the firefox browser, with 38.39% preferring it to other browsers. The United Kingdom on the other hand, has a measly 11%, which after having used the browser for a whole year myself and being completely in love with it, is something of a disappointment.
Europe has the highest use (20.11%), with Australia behind (18.6%) then America (15.8%).
Figures from the visitors to the Information Research journal shows that 27.1% use the firefox browser, which they state is a big jump, so I guess there is still hope!! I think that it is probably an awareness issue, so if you haven’t already, click on the button in the right-hand margin and get yourself a brilliant new browser. And if you’re a member of UKeiG, you can find fact sheets about the advantage of the browser over others here.
