Mozilla’s Firefox browser has also surpassed 20 percent market share for the first time.

And Google certainly isn’t reluctant to kick Microsoft while it’s down, as it now automatically recommends that Gmail users running IE6 switch to Firefox or Google’s own Chrome browser (apparently Google is hoping that those users don’t realize that IE7 exists or that IE8 is on the way).

I’m sure the Microsoft dudes are starting to get a bit frantic about the slippage in IE’s market share, and I fully expect IE8 to get nearly as glamorous a launch as Windows 7 in order to try to win back some of those Firefox and Chrome converts.

For those of you included in that group of disenchanted IE users, what would it take to bring you back? Adblock Plus for IE? Or would that just be polishing a turd?
