Firefox 3.5 has recently overtaken Internet Explorer 7 as the most widely used browser according to StatCounter. The belief is that more people are switching to Firefox because of its added speed and better adherence to widely accepted web standards.
What does this mean for website patrons? As browsers that poorly adhere to web standards, such as Internet Explorer, decline in use developers are able to utilize more advanced techniques (such a CSS3). These techniques empower developers to improve the end user experience by making sites more interactive and responsive. It also insures that web pages will look more uniform across a wider range of browsers without having to use special Internet Explorer "hacks". By minimizing the time developers spend on special-case formatting and tweaking more time can be spent on optimization and other techniques which makes sites faster and easier to use.
