VOLE-FREE browser, Firefox has nicked a few more punters from Microsoft and infected them with Open Source software.

Mozzarella's alternative browser now accounts for 8.69 of the worldwide browser market, counters of virtual beans at OneStat.com said.

Firefox's market share was up a quarter of a percentage point since February.

Microsoft's was down 0.65 percent to a measly 86.63 percent of the total market.

A co-founder of OneStat.com, Niels Brinkman said he thought users of Internet Explorer for Apple Macs were also abandoning it by switching to Safari, which is up to 1.26 per cent, according to the company's figures.

Netscape hovers at 1.08 percent, Opera on 1.03, the researcher reckons. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
