Firefox has outdone itself June 19, 2008
Surprise, surprise (well, not really), Firefox has reached and surpassed it’s 5-million download goal, with 8-million downloads! Thats about 83,000GB (83TB) of data, which is an insane amount.
More importantly, Firefox 3 immediately as gained a 4% market share, right on day one (source: TechCrunch). Perhaps this could be the exciting end to IE, and finally Firefox will begin to increase in proportion to IE, and then finally, Firefox will take over as the most popular browser. Silly IE.

Links
I no longer use del.icio.us, because it's unorganized. I use bookmarks, an app by me, for me! Of course, anyone can use it too though. It's unfinished, to work it you'll need a Kerplunc Account, register one here.
When I get around to making such a thing, latest links will magically reappear :)

Nice blog man, great design! Good for Firefox! I was promoting their Download Day on my blog as well.

I really do wish that the tyranny of IE ends so that Firefox can shine!

Scrolling down my Google Reader feed for this blog a bit, I see a post—since deleted with the rediesign—entitled “Why Opera rules and Firefox sucks”. Seemingly you have changed your mind.

@Josh: haha, yeah, that was Firefox 2, this new version is infinitely better, faster, less memory leaks and a unique address bar/search.

Hopefully you’re right and then end of Internet Explorer is in sight, (or maybe they’ll realise they have to improve the standard of it).Firefox 3 is much faster than Firefox 2 and I’m loving it so far.
