Journal pmarini's Journal: Prediction: Firefox 3.5 most used browser by end of summer
[original post from 19th April 2009]
Seeing the recent trends of:
- Firefox users quickly upgrading to the latest version
- Internet Explorer users stuck with company policies and the likes
I can easily predict the prompt jump of Firefox 3.5 to the top spot in all of the 5 continents (or 6 continents, depending on how many fingers there are in your hands) as the single most used browser version, followed by Internet Explorer 7 & 8 and a few monsters still using version 6. Do not also forget the growing share of Safari users, already over 5%, as iPhone and iPod Touch users account for 50% of mobile Web access...
Long live the king
(btw, that would be summer in the northern emisphere... those in latin America, Africa & Oceania will have to wait until Christmas)

The prediction is well underway, with Europe as the first continent where it happens: http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser_version-eu-daily-20090810-20090908
