Firefox Reaches Nearly 28% in Europe

Reports yesterday indicate that Firefox continues to increase its marketshare in every region of the globe.

Mozilla Links analyzes the data in Europe, where Firefox’s share grew from 23% in March 2007, to nearly 28% by July 2007. Within Europe, Finland and Slovenia are the champs with over 45% Firefox marketshare each.

They also take a peek at the worldwide status, reporting, “At the global level, all continents show a notable increase with South America taking the largest growth to reach 15.5% from 11.9% in the latest report. Oceania keeps the lead at 28.9%.” Surprisingly, Asia lags behind the world with slightly less than 15% marketshare.

Also, Mozilla CEO Mitchell Baker estimates that Firefox has 100 million regular users and “accounts for about 20% of U.S. Internet usage,” according to a post at Tech Trader Daily of Barron’s Online.

Edit: XiTiMonitor’s detailed report includes beautiful maps and charts illustrating the above data.
