Mozilla Gains On IE

PCWorld: Mozilla Gains on IE. “Over the last month, Internet Explorer’s share of the browser market dropped by 1 percent.” Firefox is an excellent browser. Version 0.9 is rock solid. My favorite feature is one that Explorer will probably never match: cross-platform compatibility. I can fire up a Mozilla-based browser in Linux, OS X, or Win XP, and have them render sites perfectly and consistently in all three browsers.

I’m eagerly awaiting Microsoft’s response to this trend. If the next version of IE is in fact scheduled to accompany Longhorn, and won’t be available for download before the OS’s debut, we can safely predict further market share loss for them.
