Firefox has 20% market share, might steal more from Safari with “porn mode”
“It’s Official” , triumphs the Mozilla blog, “Congratulations to the Mozilla community for reaching this historic milestone”. According to Net Applications, Firefox surpassed 20% worldwide market share. During the week of October 5th, 20 percent of Internet users browsed with the open source browser.
Watch your back Safari
The Firefox browser might steal some market share from Safari, as Apple’s browser will soon lose its greatest advantage for male Mac users. As I mentioned earlier, a friend of mine once told me he uses Safari’s stealth mode for his adult needs. Well, it seems like he can stay within the Firefox environment for that now.
Firefox released a beta version of a Private Browsing feature. Users of Minefield, Mozilla’s test area for new browser innovations, can now activate the “porn mode”. When toggled, it deletes your Web history, user names, passwords, searches, and cookies and bins as soon as you close the window, “effectively making it appear that the session never existed” – writes Josh Lowensohn from Webware.

And there I was thinking Safari’s biggest advantage over Firefox was it’s support for more standards, blazing fast javascript and an interface that doesn’t feel like it’s a Linux app pretending to be a Mac app.
Quite odd that I feel slightly dirty using Firefox on a Mac when ‘your friend’ uses Safari for porn.
