A recent study suggests that
Mozilla's
Firefox is
continuing to gain ground on
Microsoft's
Internet
Explorer following the launch of new versions of both browsers.
The report, conducted by Dutch research firm
OneStat,
found that Firefox increased its global market share by 0.66 per cent in October
to reach 12.15 per cent.
Despite losing ground to Firefox, Internet Explorer maintained its
stranglehold with 85.24 per cent of the global market share.
Apple's
Safari
browser was a distant third at 1.61 per cent, while
Opera and
Netscape each recorded
less than one per cent.
The study also found that Firefox users are rapidly adopting the updated
version of the browser.
Released on 24 October, Firefox 2.0 has now been adopted by 19.5 per cent of
all Firefox users.
Internet Explorer 7, which was released five days before Firefox 2.0, has
only been adopted by 3.05 per cent of all Internet Explorer users.
