Due to repeated incidents with Microsoft's Internet Explorer, the number of downloads of Mozilla and Firefox have doubled. IE has recently lost 1% of its domininance, presumably primarily to Mozilla products, though this could also include Opera. I also wonder if the handheld browser market is also picking up, which would likely register as non-IE hits as well. As one who has switched to Firefox (Windows) and Safari (Mac OS X), I can attest that the change was a little strange at first, but in a short time I was completely loathe to touch IE again. It's that different.
Then again, if security is the main impetus behind all these swappers, how about going the more overt route and switching to a more secure operating system?
