Firefox 3.5: World's most popular browser

Data released by StatCounter indicates that Firefox 3.5 is the world's most popular browser, having edged ahead of Internet Explorer 7.

Looking at the data, it's quite possible that Firefox 3.5 won't retain the top spot for long as Internet Explorer 8 is catching up fast, and will get a further push from Windows 7 sales. That said, Firefox has a fair bit of momentum, so it could very well increase the lead it has over IE. Time will tell ...

No matter what browser you happen to be a fan of, you have to admit that that Mozilla's dethroning of Microsoft's iron grip on the browser chart is very impressive and quite an achievement.

Well done Mozilla!
