Firefox gains ground on IE
Midsize businesses face enterprise-caliber threats More than one out of 10 surfers use Firefox as a browser, according to a study by web analytics firm OneStat.com. Although Mozilla-based browsers have a total global usage share of 11.51 percent - an increase of 2.82 per cent since April 2005 - Microsoft's Internet Explorer still dominates the global browser market with a global share of 85.45 per cent. Its share has slipped 1.18 per cent from the end of April. For some unexplained reason, Mozilla's browsers are more popular in the USA (14.07 per cent use Firefox) and Canada (16.98 per cent) than in the UK (4.94 per cent), according to OneStat.com.

Spinfox - Spinning Firefox logo throbber r
UPDATE December 20, 2006: Updated maxversion for Firefox 2.0.0.x. Nothing else changed, yet. UPDATE December 6, 2006: Thanks to the ever so awesome Euan Ritchie and his herd of domesticated Puppeteers, Spinfox is now an XPI installable Extension. Currently this is 0.7 because I have some additional stuff to enhance. Next features are replacing the throbber on tabs, maybe extra large sizes (we'll see how that works), possibly smoothing the images a little more, etc. Neither Euan nor myself are responsible if you put your eye out installing this.

UnChrome removes the unique ID from Google Chrome - Download Squad
Concerns about what Google Chrome does with user data already spawned Iron, a browser based on the Chromium source code that strips various features like error and crash reporting, as well as the unique user identifier assigned to each install. If you'd prefer to run Google's version of the browser but are still concerned about your privacy, you can also download and run UnChrome. It's a free application that checks to see if you've got Chrome installed and then replaces the unique ID assigned to you with a null value. After you run it, there is a single pop-up advertisement for another of the developer's applications. Since UnChrome-ing is a one-time thing, it's only a minor annoyance.
