Koren op de molen voor Arduenn:

French company Xiti Monitor has just released more numbers on Firefox Market share with details on countries not mentionned in previous studies. First things first: on that day, Firefox has 14.83% market share in Europe (taking the respective sizes of the countries into account) and 11.78% market share in North America.

misschien kun jij plaatje zichtbaar fixen.... ik ben niet zo technisch.

As usual with Xiti studies, these numbers represent a snapshot of the Internet audience on a specific date: Sunday July 17th, 2005. Xiti mentions that numbers during the week are slightly lower, as enterprises tend not to adopt newer technologies like Firefox as quickly as consumers.

Congratulations go to users in Finland, with 31.03% market share (probably a world record), followed by Germany, Czech Republic, Croatia and Poland, with more than 20% of Firefox users in each.

Nederlands loopt weer schandalig achter. Maarja, Nederlanders zijn een achterlijk volk. Zelfs in Belgi is het aandeel FF hoger.

Daar wilde ik het volgende aan toevoegen: Paul Thurrott roept op Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 volledog te boycotten (jaja, ik weet het, bedrijven zijn nogal stug daarin en commercile sites kunnen het niet maken om IE7-gebruikers te weren, anders lopen ze inkomsten mis)...

My advice is simple: Boycott IE. It's a cancer on the Web that must be stopped. IE isn't secure and isn't standards-compliant, which makes it unworkable both for end users and Web content creators. Because of their user bases, however, Web developers are hamstrung into developing for IE at the expense of established standards that work well in all other browsers. You can turn the tide by demanding more from Microsoft and by using a better alternative Web browser. I recommend and use Mozilla Firefox, but Apple Safari (Macintosh only) and Opera 8 are both worth considering as well.

Enkele reacties uit zijn forum:

Microsoft, in deciding that IE won the browser war and needed no resources assigned to its continued improvement, condemned web developers to a type of programmer's hell. I'm not a web developer, but I certainly can appreciate the absolute nightmare Microsoft has created for the web development community.

i've developed some large, well known websites. i'll do everything i can to boycott IE7 until acid2 is supported. the web could be so much cooler.

IE has so many rendering errors it's not even funny. I develop web pages and have to STUDY IE ERRORS to get websites to render properly.

Maar goed, niks nieuws eigenlijk. Gewoon ouderwets MS-bashen.

Hoeveel procent van de Zwarte Bos-bezoekers gebruikt FF?

3. dxtr commented on 2005/8/3, 20.33 h:

Als iedereen MS zou boycotten, dan zou je alleen nog maar over Talpa kunnen schrijven ;-)

*kuch*

Vergeet het boesj bashen niet, dxtr.

Gelukkig kan de Bush-termijn nog maar - hooguit - 3 jaar duren

6. Arduenn commented on 2005/8/3, 21.03 h:

Dat dacht je. Heb je wel eens van het 22e amendement gehoord? Die dicteert dat een president slechts twee termijnen mag uitzitten. Guess what.. de Bush-regering probeert van dat 22e amendement af te komen. Het is ze al eerder gelukt onconstitutionele dingen te flikken, zoals Guantanamo Bay en de Patriot Act I en II. En deze pagina is dus geen bullshit-site. Kijk maar naar het domeinnaam.

Kijk! Nou weten we precies hoe lang hij nog mag regeren. Handig.
