Google Pushing Firefox as Vista Looms
December 11th, 2006 by pamela
At GoogleSystem they have noticed a Google homepage ad for the Firefox browser, and have a great screenshot of it. It seems that Google are maybe trying to resist the uptake of Internet Explorer when Microsoft’s Vista operating system has its public launch at the start of 2007.
Yahoo! heavily promotes Internet Explorer, so it’d good to see Firefox getting some backing, and always interesting to see Microsoft and Google go head to head.
It seems that the uptake of Firefox just keeps on growing, and Matt Cutts has reported on figures showing that use of the open source browser continues to grow in Europe, gaining an extra 4% of the market. The UK has one of the lowest levels of uptake at only 15.8% as opposed to the 40% usage in Finland and Slovenia of all places. Very odd.
