OK, OK — so the article below doesn’t say “best” — it says “most popular” — and I know not to confuse the two.
But Firefox continues to be my browser of choice.
Firefox 3.5: World’s most popular browser
Data released by StatCounter indicates that Firefox 3.5 is the world’s most popular browser, having edged ahead of Internet Explorer 7.
Looking at the data, it’s quite possible that Firefox 3.5 won’t retain the top spot for long as Internet Explorer 8 is catching up fast, and will get a further push from Windows 7 sales. That said, Firefox has a fair bit of momentum, so it could very well increase the lead it has over IE. Time will tell …
No matter what browser you happen to be a fan of, you have to admit that that Mozilla’s dethroning of Microsoft’s iron grip on the browser chart is very impressive and quite an achievement.
So lemme see if I can do some Cool Talk. 😯
Firefox…like…rocks. 😳

Remember when Netscape was the browser that even Microsoft PCs used as default? Show how long I’ve been surfing the net. I think it may even have been because of Netscape using a sail boat as its logo that we use the term “surfing”.
Ah, yes. Netscape. I used to a Netscape die-hard…until they didn’t keep up (or something like that). I was so tickled when Firefox hit the scene. So, Peter, have you been surfing so long that you remember Lynx?
Lynx? I have heard of it, but never have used or seen it.
