Firefox Spanks IE

Firefox started out as little more than a simple Mozilla offshoot. Now, ZDNet is reporting that Firefox users accounted for 19% of all their traffic this month! Rock on Firefox! I know ZDNet is, by definition, going to have a higher percentage of tech-savvy users than other sites, and so more Firefox users than others - but those kinds of numbers are excellent.

• Finally, people are waking up to the idea that there are other browsers out there and they are better than Internet Explorer.
• Finally, sites will be forced to cater for a range of browsers.
• Finally, designers (those that don't already) will have to acknowledge that there are other browsers out there and that they matter.
