Firefox hits 25,000,000 Downloads


Today has seen the Firefox internet browser hit the 25 million download milestone in the Internet Explorer dominated browser market. Firefox has gained almost 5% of the internet browser market in less than 100 days and maintains momentum.

Firefox is a free, open-source web browser for Windows, Linux and MacOS X and is based on the Mozilla codebase. It is small, fast and easy to use, and is more secure. Why? Here is a list of the most important reasons:

* It is not integrated with Windows, which helps prevent viruses and hackers from causing damage if they somehow manage to compromise Firefox.
* There is no support for VBScript and ActiveX, two technologies which are the reasons for many IE security holes.
* No spyware/adware software can automatically install in Firefox just by visiting a web site.
* Firefox doesn’t use Microsoft’s Java VM, which has a history of more flaws than other Java VMs.
* You have complete control over cookies.

The safer, faster, better web browser featuring tabbed browsing, integrated search and live bookmarks. Stop pop-ups, spyware and viruses.

A Big Thank You!

I’d like to take this time to say thank you to all the visitors to the website as the website approaches visitor 3000. I’ve received a significant increase in the number of emails through the website, which is great to see. They range from comments and spelling mistake alerts to questions and just general chit chat. Thank you for your emails and please keep them coming!

The guestbook remains offline as I have no had the time to fix it. Please feel free to email me in the meantime.

Regards

Anthony :-)
