OK, let me rephrase that with facts:

French is the main language used in Algerian websites.


To test this, just go to google and do a search for nothing more than:

site:.dz


You need to go to page 6 before you see the first Arabic result. Flipping through the first 30 or so pages reveals perhaps less than 10% Arabic results. The English results are few and far between. French is indeed Algeria's main online language.
