Now here is a nice trend – Firefox usage is on the rise again.  According to this article by Nate Mook at BetaNews, Mozilla’s Firefox browser is gaining additional significant market share.

With over 15% of the US market and just shy of 13% worldwide, Firefox has become a significant force in Internet browsing.  Opera is also doing quite well in the current “browser wars” at a solid 1% of the worldwide market.  Firefox will be releasing v2.0 later this year (around the same time as IE7) that should push the bar even further for browser innovation.
While I wish I could say that IE7 is just as good, the reality is that it still has a lot of room for improvement.  The enhancements and new features such as tabs and RSS support make a big difference, but overall IE still lags on a number of areas – especially performance and expandability.
