Firefox, IE Vie for Popularity Among College Students
Posted February 10th, 2008 by 
To better understand the views, attitudes, and usage of various technologies and brands among college students, Eduventures conducted research of 18- to 24-year-old students enrolled full-time at a four-year college or university via a Web survey.
Eduventures found that Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox are tied for most preferred Web browser at 45 percent. Browsers mentioned in the "Other" category included AOL, Avant, and Camino. Thirty-three percent of respondents who prefer Mozilla Firefox cited “tabbed browsing” as a reason for their preference. Eduventures also found based on its survey that 31 percent who prefer Explorer also use Firefox, while 65 percent who prefer Firefox also use Explorer.
I actually downloaded
I actually downloaded firefox as a freshmen in college because it was required! How? Why? For whatever reason the computing center guys required all first years to download firefox in order to set up internet connection in the dorms. So...I think I can safely say that the majority of students at my university use firefox, hooray!
mind blower
wow those statistics blow my mind, considering I'm 19 I fall right in there, i didn't think it would be a tie like that.
