Highest Firefox visit share in Europe

We are establishing a new column on our blog called the Top 5. We will be publishing different rankings of countries where Slovenia will make it to the Top 5 list.

The first Top 5 came as a surprise to me when the XiTi published the results of a Firefox usage survey. Mozzila Firefox is the second most popular web browser in the world followed by Microsoft Internet Explorer. It is developed by the Mozzila corporation and a community of external contributors. Among all continents Oceania and Europe have the largest Firefox users base, both approaching 30% visit share.
And now our Top 5 ...
In the XiTi survey Slovenia was ranked the first among the 32 European countries included in the survey with 47,9% visit share, followed by Finland with 45,4%.
We wondered why our Firefox usage share is so high compared to the other countries but we could not make a reasonable conclusion. Could you?

A great day in Ljubljana

We are spending much of our free/holiday time in Ljubljana this year. Usually we spend it abroad (Western Europe or Croatian coast) but this year writing our dissertation thesis kept us in Ljubljana for the summer. Earlier this week we decided to relax a bit so we went to Water park Atlantis, situated in the Ljubljana shopping area (BTC City). We took the ticket for Thermal Temple, but soon figured out that besided more peace and quiet it doesn't offer much more than a baseline ticket for Adventure world. We really had fun though, enjoying the bubbles (massage pools), the adventure pool and steam sauna. Afterwards we headed for the city centre to get some more sea holidays flavour. We went to a fish reastaurant Operna klet near Ljubljana Opera house, Parliament and National Gallery right in the city centre. Day ended with the free outdoor Yoga, which is held in the Tivoli park during this summer, following the example of bigger European and American cities. I have never before attended any Yoga classes but I found it really nice and relaxing and a perfect way to end a great day in Ljubljana.
