Mozilla Firefox has achieved a market share of over 20 percent in Europe, according to the latest figures released by French Web metrics firm XiTi. XiTi, which based its figures on a sample of 32.5 million Web site visits that took place on Sunday 8 January, said that Finland has the highest proportion of Firefox users, followed by Slovenia and Germany. It found that the open source browser is used by 38, 36 and 30 percent of users in these countries respectively.

I am pretty impressed by greece. It is actually more than france! I kind of liked somebodys interpretation that the figures are lower when the internet penetration is higher (more ignorant people browse) but this does not explain germany's 30%. It is kind of fun to think of it as a measure of anti-american or pro-EU feelings of each country. Therefore Germany scores high and France (who recently rejected the EU consitution) scores lower. That explains the Spanish, GB and Dutch results too. Also the romantic and economically dependent greece scores unexpectedly high. Of course you cannot take this really seriously but it is kind of amusing. What do you guys think?
