According to research carried out by French firm Xiti Monitor, use of the Firefox browser continues to grow in Europe. Since April this year, the geeky alternative to Microsoft's Internet Explorer gained an extra four percent of the market across the continent. According to Xiti's research, the browser is now used by some 23.2 per cent of European PC web surfers - up from 19.4% in April.

geeky alternative
Why did the author feel the need to slam Firefox in the very article that shows it is growing in popularity? Maybe the he feels compelled to be balanced in some perverse way.
The simple fact is, an excellent alternative to the leading browser is growing in popularity in spite of the effort users have to expend to get it (i.e. some effort instead of no effort on Windows).

Geeky's a bit unfair I think - the key to Firefox's success so far is that it *isn't* geeky.
Still, I'd rather be geeky than clueless ;-)
