I regularly try to post updates about Firefox market share in Europe, so that the English-speaking crowd gets a better understanding of what the various teams around the world can achieve by providing an official localized Web site, localized products (Mozilla Suite, Firefox, Thunderbird...) and forum in native languages. Last time, I mentioned market share data gathered by Xiti Monitor.

I now have more details, thanks to a comment posted in Asa's blog and digging through my bookmarks (for Poland):

  • The Austrian DerStandard.de has recently published the browser statistics for its Web site. Der Standard is not technology oriented at all, but still manages to have 23.56% of its visitors to use Firefox, which is without counting the Mozilla Suite crowd, (2.53%). Internet Explorer is heading South with only 63.03%. As the article states, these numbers are quite different from recent US numbers;
  • Heise.de, sometimes called the German Slashdot, has also interesting numbers. Of course, being a computer-related site, modern browsers have better numbers. They're still impressive, as Gecko gets 48.6% market share, and Microsoft is only 36.1%.
  • Gecko reaches 15% in Poland, according to Ranking.pl, and Opera is getting 4.3%, which is one of the biggest numbers I've seen, on any market, for this fine browser.

Should you have recent numbers for browsers in local markets, please leave a link below, along with a short explanation, if possible.
