I don't ask.  Do I ask?  I don't ask.  I'm just wicked nosy today.

Of course, as soon as I post, I think of a million ways to better phrase that.

I use IE for work, and Opera/Chrome for browser testing.  However, I only selected Firefox, because that's the one I use because I want to and I like it.

Firefox overtakes IE6 as second most-used Web browser (and appears to be
closing in on IE7, too):

(SeaMonkey, my browser of choice, is pretty much just FireFox with the addition of e-mail and news-reading applications, like good ol' Mozilla. Web stats programs typically lump it into the "other Mozilla" category).

Someone at work e-mailed it to me.

I'm not surprised. My own Web site stats (Urchin) show IE (all versions) as accounting for fewer than 25 percent of the visits to our sites, and have for some time. While it's still at the top of the browser list, if you add up the separate categories for Firefox, Mozilla and "Mozilla-based browsers," they amount to 31 percent.

We're probably ahead of the game because (a) our sites get heavy intra-institutional use and (b) the university is a huge open source player, but still ...

it's exciting to see open-source end-user apps approach a tipping point :)
