Firefox Vs. Internet Explorer - UFD

Over the past couple of years, as a matter of personal curiosity, I have been tracking the Firefox users vs. the IE users on the sites that we host. The numbers have been showing that Firefox is gaining slowly on industry leading IE. Just as I was wondering what the rest of the world was seeing, OneStat released findings that indicated that Firefox was climbing the ladder. FF is gaining about 1% per year.

Reported numbers are saying that Microsoft still has about 85% of the browser usage market and Firefox is at almost 13%. FF is showing a little bit better than what I was seeing but the numbers are real close. Typically I am seeing that FF is at about 10.5% of all searches with the understanding that the site demo dramatically changes the numbers.

Another UFD completely unrelated to the headline but I thought that I would throw it in anyway. In the US, is seems that browser resolutions are overwhelmingly 1024x768. The stats from all the research that I have done, indicate that anywhere from 53% to 81% of people have their monitors set at 1024 x 768. Only one source reported the 81% and I am willing to discount that one. The majority agree that 53% to 58% of browsers in the US are using the 1024 x 768 resolution.

Oh, and by the way, UFD in the headline = Useless facts of the day.
