Actually, it's not. FF's share has been fairly stable for a while. What's happened is that Chrome has taken over as the browser that eats *IE's* lunch. The broad story of browser statistics is that IE has been going down for years; up until a couple of years or so Firefox was rising steadily, taking IE's share. Now Firefox is static and Chrome is rising steadily, taking IE's share. FF use has not declined at all. Chrome is also even more of a problem for distro packaging than Firefox is. To the point where it still isn't in Fedora and isn't likely to be in any reasonable timeframe. (On a personal note, I trust Mozilla approximately fifty three thousand times more than I trust Google, and for this reason you'll never catch me using Chrome even if it's a better browser than Firefox). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
