Up to more than a 23 per cent share

ACCORDING TO research carried out by French firm Xiti Monitor, use of
the Firefox browser continues to grow in Europe.

Since April this year, the geeky alternative to Microsoft's Internet
Explorer gained an extra four percent of the market across the
continent.

According to Xiti's research, the browser is now used by some 23.2
per cent of European PC web surfers - up from 19.4% in April.

There is quite some variation within the continent, however.

Slovenia loves the Fox, where over 40 per cent of surfers use the
browser. Brits, along with the Spanish and the Dutch are the least
Firefox friendly Europeans as the pretty map below shows.


Use of Firefox generally goes up at the weekend in Europe, suggesting
that people have the browser on their home PCs and may get what
they're given at work.

Worldwide, Europe - at 23.2 per cent - is just behind Australasia
(23.4%) in its use of the foxy browser. According to Xiti, 14.5 per
cent of North American surfers use Firefox. Its smallest market share
is in South America, where it accounts for just 11.1 per cent of
active browsers.
