Story: Firefox achieves 10 percent market share

I totally agree with the argument that FX is used by people who actually are working the web. IE being the default browser on the Windows OS and Windows being the default OS on 9out of 9.1 PCs it's actually very remarkable that even 10% of users actually felt the need to download and use Firefox!

Some of the good features I have noticed about FX are:

1... faster page loads
2... better popup blocking (without addons mind you)
3... a multitude of plugins that really work (try stumble)
4... tabbed browsing (IE 7.0 has it... now)
5... source code checking (ever tried view selection source, it's a great idea)

there's a lot more that I could go on about but essentially the idea being that FX actually thinks out of the box for you whereas IE is just another browser!
