On-line research institute XiTi has published a study about Firefox’ market share in Europe. I think I speak for most web developers, if I say that the more Firefox users, the better. Well, ‘we’ won some more souls:
After a period of stabilization from June to September 2007, Mozilla Firefox’s visit share, for the average of European countries of the XiTi perimeter, is again growing at the end of the year. Thus, over a one year vision, it gains 5 points in order to reach 28% in December 2007.
The growth isn’t spectacular though and in some countries the user rate of Firefox is actually shrinking. In Denmark, Firefox usage falls back with 0.6 percent. In Ukraine this is in 0.3 percent and in the country where The Next Web Blog is based – The Netherlands – it’s 0.1 percent. To make it even worse for me and my fellow Dutch developers, we’re the country with the lowest user rate. It’s only 14.7 percent.
Maybe web developers should move to one of the three leading countries in Firefox share: Finland (45.4%), Slovenia (44.6%) and Poland (42.4%). Or the Internet community should try to create a ‘Spread Firefox‘ revival. It would save us all lots of time:

Couldn’t you have found a photo of the model without the Firefox tee shirt? ;)
The picture distracts me from reading the article, so I can’t give a proper comment…
(And by picture I of course mean that beautiful pie-chart)
hilarious!
I like the green part of the pie; the actual design. The compatible iterations are a big frustration. Good diagram, made me laugh
I will actually read the article in a minute ;)
Haha that pie-chart made me really laughing =)
Hopefully Internet Explorer 8 will be a better browser for webdesigners and developers.
Ernst-Jan, make yourself and us service, come finally to Finland – girls are even better here (and without T-shirts), and it is not difficult for Dutch boy to get settled here ;)
Cool! At least were number one in something! Ok Kimi also won the formulas…
