Firefox Turns 4
On November 9th, 2004, Firefox 1.0 was released. In those four years Firefox has been the catalyst for change on the web. Tristan writes: “In just 4 years, things have changed tremendously in the browser space: more innovation, more players. Overall, the Web is in a much better shape than before, and the outlook is much more positive. One should remember that in 2003, anybody building Web sites made them exclusively for Internet Explorer, a browser which was not maintained at the time. How things have changed since then! In places like Spain, France, Germany and Poland, Firefox is used by 30 to 40% of Internet users.” There’s also a post on the Mozilla Blog and a nice article on Mozilla Links as well.
