Firefox encroaches on IE.. slowly, slowly…
According to this Register story, Firefox now has 10.28 per cent of the browser market on business web sites (from a survey of 168,000 - can anyone say if that’s statistically valid from a sample of tens of millions?).
IE, meanwhile, has fallen to an 83.7 per cent share.
What Firefox has done is remarkable. Though of course it can’t be finished yet, if it’s going to fit my first prediction for 2005. Although someone quoted in the story does think Firefox could hit a 25 per cent share next quarter.. Come on, come on, I need a good hit rate..

Was it a survey of 168,000 sites? I’d be interested to know which sites. If you’re looking at general trends, there’s really no way to guess how many people use one browser and how many use another, as no-one really knows what browsers people have installed on their machines.
So, yes, a few examples of sites looked at would be interesting.
Oooh, hey: any idea about your browser stats, Charles?
