Over 40% of my blog visitors use Firefox

. What's this?

On three of my five other blogs -- DBMS2, The Monash Report, and Strategic Messaging -- Google Analytics reports that 41-42% of my visitors use Firefox. On Text Technologies, which probably has a bit more of an academic/research following than the others, the figure is >46%, and exceeds that for Internet Explorer.

Most of my readers are, in one way or another, enterprise IT experts. So I take this as evidence that a WHOLE LOT of enterprise IT experts prefer Firefox to IE. Probably the majority, actually, since there probably are many more people compelled to use IE against their will than are dragged kicking and screaming to Firefox.

Safari usage is only around 5%. Make of that what you will.
