Firefox gains market share…
Firefox February 3rd, 2008
According to a French survey company XiTi Monitor, Mozilla’s Firefox browser hit a whopping 28% share of the European internet ‘visit share’ in December 2007, gaining at the expense of Internet Explorer.
One wonders how much, if at all this has to do with scraping. I know that I for one do 99% of my scraping with a Firefox user agent, and only use the IE agent if there is an explicit reason for doing so.
Clearly IE7 has been a big turn off for a lot of people, but is that the only reason for Firefox’s gained share (other than the fact Firefox is clearly the best browser)?
