Firefox at 25 percent

After seeing the link over at Digg I was really excited. Firefox usage around the world has risen to 25%. These numbers were calculated by the W3C counter found here, and go to show the extent of the current transfer rate of users from IE and other browsers to the Firefox.

This rise in users worldwide should go to show that internet websites today need more than ever to be cross-platform usable. Firefox along with other browsers serve an important role today in preserving one of the foundations of the internet - access for all, without discrimination on what type of browser you are using.

Passing the 25% benchmark in the overall traffic of the web should prove a beacon of the change to come. Things are going to become better, and the more open things are, the more cross-platform the web will get, the better.
