The Quiet Revolution

One of the extraordinary things about Firefox is that its impact just keeps growing: the 200 million download mark has now been passed. Of course, this doesn't mean 200 million users, but the market share is also going up respectably.

This is all quite amazing - particularly because nobody seems to think it's amazing anymore. We expect it from Firefox, and that's good, because it helps seed the idea that open source in general should be aiming this high.

200 million is impressive! I was just on spreadfirefox.com and there's a link to a new site, thefoxtales.com. Looks pretty cool, you can look at the Firefox timeline and share stories and stuff.

Thanks - I'd not seen that; I'll take a look.
