Love Firefox!

I saw some striking numbers recently on how Firefox's installs keep increasing despite the new IE7 which, having blatantly stolen Firefox/Mozilla features like tabs and blacklisting and popup-blocking, still can't recapture those people who have moved to Firefox. Especially interesting was the national/regional breakdown. Germany, for instance, had over 40% of all browsers running Firefox. And that spells trouble for Microsoft. Serves them right for neglecting IE for so long.

I especially like Firefox's extensions. Stylish, Greasemonkey, Adblock, NoScript, etc. I need to spend some time finishing my new extension for FreeRepublic and release it.

I hated to see IE overtake Netscape. Microsoft is notorious for stealing other people's ideas and forcing their products on to consumers.

Very interesting! I don't use Greasemonkey, but I did make a FR stylesheet with the Stylish extension that is pretty neat, if I do say so myself. (Screenshot)
