50,000,000 to take back their interweb safer and faster

Woohoo! Firefox downloads have recently broken the fifty million mark and rising even more. Although this only counts the people who actually download from the official firefox websites like Spreadfirefox.com, it is still a significant number. Remember that their counter doesn't factor in the people who download directly from the mozilla.org ftp, nor those who download the source and compile it themselves, nor those who download from third party file mirror sites like download.com, nor those who download once and use the installer on multiple computers.

Internet Explorer may still have dominance for the moment but if they don't improve their browser in the near future, Firefox and other newer, safer browsers will ultimately breakthrough that market dominance of theirs. In the meantime, if you still haven't used Firefox yet. It is no big loss for you to click on that foxy button after my archives list and try out the magic of Firefox yourself.
