I've been with Mozilla for about 10 years and so I'm a bit more than just a Firefox evangelist. I was working on the Mozilla project for as many years before I helped make Firefox as I have since. Next time I comment in a blog I'll be sure to brag about being a Firefox co-founder and my long history making the Web a better place :-) Sorry, I figured that people already know who I am.

If that reflects the usage across the internet it doesn't look all that good for Infernal Deplorer. I like Firefox on my PC and Safari on my Mac although Firefox 3 seems to have improved a lot on Mac and I may start using it there. I haven't tried Chrome and I don't know if I will or not.

I think it might have been helpful for you to disclose you're, like, THE Firefox evangelist, but the data's definitely useful. Thanks Asa!

That's a lot of users, I'd wager something like 4 million users active on their top day and probably about 2-3 million active users today. According to those reports (Net Applications') and statements from them in the press, it does appear that most of that came at the expense of IE (Google advertised Chrome to IE users on its somewhat popular ;-) website, google.com) and a significant chunk of those early testers look to be moving back to their earlier browser this week. Certainly tech-centric sites will see higher numbers, just as you're seeing over 50% for Firefox when more inclusive data puts Firefox at closer to 20%. I, for example, an seeing about 10% Chrome usage at my tiny blog with pretty much everyone else being Firefox users. - A Here’s a larger data set for you:

It was so hangy for me anytime I switched tabs or minimized/maximized. I like the idea of it, but I think they have a ways to go.
