London (pte035/15.04.2005/15:00) - Firefox is officially the average internet user's favourite alternative browser to Internet Explorer. As Computer Weekly http://www.computerweekly.com reports, the Firefox browser download site http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox has seen unique visitor numbers jump 237 per cent since last June, according to Nielsen/NetRatings, the Inter ratings agency.
"The search for an alternative browser has grown in recent years, as the Internet's early adopters have begun to think of the browser as something other than a commodity," said Ken Cassar, director of strategic analytics at Nielsen/NetRatings. "Firefox gives web surfers a simple tool that blocks unsolicited windows, is less susceptible to virus attacks and offers a unique means of navigating multiple sites within a single browser," he said.
In its latest research, Nielsen/NetRatings says that the top 10 US Internet brands in order are Microsoft, Time Warner, Yahoo!, Google, United States Government, eBay, InterActiveCorp, Amazon, RealNetworks and Walt Disney.
