I now use Opera, using IE only when strictly necessary. I’ve deleted everything concerning Firefox from both of my machines.

Still, it’s probably a sort of swift overtaking of Firefox users over those who use IE.

You may also be looking out at Japanese visitors who are avid readers of your blog.

Oh, and also I don’t see the projection of Opera users go higher. Only close to the percentage of Firefox users.

Hmm…

Been using FF since 0.9. Hasn’t failed me since then. Switching back and forth between Opera and FF, but I personally preferred FF.

@Tsubaki: Just change your useragent with https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/59/

Firefox reserves extra memory to make the tabs feature run smoother. Most people have tons of memory so it’s not really a problem.

IE has a few more standards-compliance issues and crashes occasionally, but Firefox has some rather severe memory-leak problems that haven’t been fixed as of 2.0b1. I will echo the sentiment that actually uninstalling IE is probably a bad idea. If you don’t like it, don’t use it, but it rather seriously infests Windows installations.

In fact, this is also true for my own site, where firefox edges out IE at least. The other browsers are in little use as yours. Interesting observation.

Hell even I now use Netscape, which has an option to display like IE or like Firefox…needless to say when displaying like IE it continues to crash but when displaying like firefox all is right with the world :D
