I have recently converted from IE to Firefox and have to say it is much better. A few of my friends have started using Chrome which looks like Firefox’s biggest competition at the moment.

@retry – InternetDestroyer ~IS~ dropping equal to the aggregate rise of the others. Read the graph. Add the numbers. You are the BS here.

Since all browsers are gaining over time except MSIE, then MSIE should be dropping equal to the aggregate rise of all the other browsers, not just firefox. So yes, this graph is BS.

The graphs track (or “mirror”) each other because the total always has to add up to 100%. If one browser gains, it does so at the expense of the other browsers.

You can see similar patterns on a weekly scale as usage of older IE versions drops at the weekend and the drops are mirrored by rises in newer IE versions and Firefox etc.

@Florent & Relief: Firefox and IE are the main players on that graph, thus *necessarily* they’re going to be largely mirrored. Think about it. The others are rather slow and steady and have no real spikes in them. If IE or Firefox spikes (for whatever reason) then the only place the numbers go to/from would be the other one. If IE went down, and the others didn’t move much, then Firefox went up, or vice versa. It’s a zero sum game here.

Firefox en IE grahpcs are just mirrored. Therefore this is just a fabricated image.

You should do your work Good Firefox, instead of giving us false information.

Congratulations on the continued growth. It would be interesting to see this broken down by operating system.

(BTW, you made a small typo: “We’ll eventually look to expand the conversation around this data” should be “We’ll write more about this later”.)
