Firefox edges to around 20% market share

So you have to wonder when corporations will finally give Firefox the nod and start supporting it.  Firefox is now at 20% of the market and showing no signs of slowing down.  This is a nice blow to the King of Browsers, Internet Explorer.  Firefox isn’t the browser people talk about anymore in hushed tones behind the water cooler. Itss in the mainstream and those in the know are rolling their own browser these days.  Does anyone like IE7’s interface anyway?

While IE is a necessary evil when working for a megacorp and despite how nice Safari is these days, Firefox is still my browser of choice.  Here are a few plugins I can’t live without.

  • Firebug - a web developer’s best friend
  • StumbleUpon - find stuff you didn’t even know you were missing
  • GreaseMonkey - Extend Firefox with contributions and your own mods easily
  • Leet Key - no more spoilers and no more trying to decode ROT13 in your head
