500 million Firefox downloads: complete; 500 million grains: in progress
March 7th, 2008 by Giles Smith
Firefox just reached 500,000,000 downloads. This is an absolutely phenomenal milestone for Firefox. It is sort of hard to imagine what that number means. For some perspective, that’s roughly the audience size of 10,000 Rome Colosseums combined. It would be the weight, in kilograms, of 8,500 Boeing 747 airplanes. In dollars, for $500 million you and 15 of your friends can fly to the International Space Station.
Congratulations to the best browser the internet has seen, I await the new engine in Firefox 4 with great anticipation!!!
