As Firefox users it is easy for us to forget, overlook or even not notice the large (choke) hold Microsoft has on the browser market. For all intents and purposes, Microsoft has a monopoly on the browser market with Internet Explorer. Over the past couple years Firefox’s market share has grown tremendously in Europe.

This is the last of the blog name changes, we promise. We started with The Guru’s Thunderbird Blog then went to El Guru’s Thunderbird Blog. Both names were a bit long and plus having the name ‘Thunderbird’ in the domain could have been issue with Mozilla. We wanted a name that was catchy and would be easy to remember. So we are proud to announce the new blog name is The Email Mafia. We also have moved off of WordPress and are now sharing the same platform as El Guru’s Blog.
