Browser War! Firefox market share tails off!!
Safari and Internet Explorer gain ground

*ivory.vnunet.com/images/firefox/firefox/medium.jpg

Global market share for Mozilla's open source Firefox browser dropped to 13.67 per cent in January.

The browser was running on 14 per cent of the world's computers in December, according to data from web traffic measurement firm HitsLink.

Apple's Safari browser claimed the largest market share gain, jumping from 4.24 per cent in December to 4.7 per cent in January.

Microsoft's Internet Explorer was tagged at 79.75 per cent, a gain of 0.09 percentage points. Netscape and Opera lost market share.

By January about a third of all Internet Explorer users had switched to the new IE7 browser, leaving the majority stuck with the older version 6.

Firefox users, meanwhile, have been more eager to adopt the latest version launched in October. Roughly half of all users are on Firefox 2.0, the Hitslink data indicates.

IE has all sort of addons. Check out IEADDON.COM nicely and you would find many great addons.

Safari with the extensions Saft, PithHelmet, SafariStand and Inquisitor is the best web browser out there.

Internet Explorer, on the other hand, is quite possibly the worst web browser out there.
