The much-loved Firefox Web browser reached a milestone this morning -- its billionth download.
The download counter (Wow! Looks like one a' them national debt counters! - G) rolled over within the last hour. Quite a feat for a browser that unlike Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Apple's Safari is run by a nonprofit organization with fewer than 250 employees. Despite its lack of big corporation backing -- or maybe partially because of that lack -- Firefox has become hugely popular worldwide.
But it couldn't have gotten there on good feelings alone. The free browser that debuted in 2004 consistently gets high marks for speed, efficiency, adaptability and user-friendliness.
Fixer turned me on to Firefox years ago. Thanks, F-Man. It's free and it works. Now if I can just get him to get me a new motorcycle the same way...
I like it and recommend it.
Congrats, Foxy.
