Firefox Web Browser enjoys it’s 1 Billionth download.
Wow, who would have thought that an open source project could do so well against the big “M”. Experts are saying that Firefox now has 32% of the browser market. This is probably the net result of all those crap plugins and the rest of the shoddy code that Micro$oft has been dumping on to the Internet these last 15 years. Looks like people are finally getting wise, at least when it comes to browsing…
Maybe this is a sign that the end user is starting to get it. Maybe Open Office, with it’s safer interface to the network, and it’s open standard file format will make a play for the end user desktop… Or maybe not…
Regardless, with this news, we can all say that open source has made a difference in a lot of peoples lives, and will continue to do so for a long time to come!
Congratulations Mozilla developers, you’ve done good!
