Firefox zooms past Internet Explorer 6
p2pnet news view P2P:- Firefox has at last put the bite on IE6.
It’s now, “finally surpassed IE6, which is easily the most hated version of Microsoft’s browser,” says Ars Technica, going on:
“Firefox’s steady gain continues, Safari remains in a nonthreatening third place, Chrome is happily carving out a small niche for itself, and poor Opera can’t seem to budge from fifth place.”
IE’s decline “seems to be unceasing,” but, “the real shame is that the old versions have more share than the newer ones (we can only hope that as Windows 7 gains popularity, this trend will reverse),” it says, going on:
“Still, given that IE6 had 23.30 percent of the market in October, this means that Firefox has now surpassed it.”
In October, “all browsers except for IE and Opera showed positive growth,” says Ars.

Safari dropped quite a bit, “while Chrome and Opera gained,” the story adds.
