"Firefox 3.5 is the most popular browser in the world. It tops IE 6, IE 7, and IE 8. Yes, this is just one source. Yes, all versions of IE combined still beat all versions of Firefox combined. Yes, it's just one week. So. It's still Awesome" said Asa Dotzler, from the Mozilla’s Quality Assurance (QA) and Testing Program, on his blog.

Frightening that IE 6 is still used so much

Yes that's true, I used to suffer with IE6 trying to make the websites I design look good on them.
I wonder what future Google Chrome will have though, looks promising.
