IE and Firefox down, Safari & Chrome gaining ground
The browser debate continues, as a shift in market share for all the “big guys” continues to hold strong. While Internet Explorer still accounts for over 70% of worldwide browser usage, its market share continues to take a nose dive now that steady competition from the likes of Safari and Chrome are looming.
A study conducted by Net Applications, Inc. analyzed the browsers used to access some 40,000 sites in the company’s scopes. According to ComputerWorld, IE usage slipped for the seventh month this year to hover at around 71.5% market share- down from 72.2% in August. While it’s not a huge loss, it still represents a 4.5% slip since the first of the year. The introduction of Google’s Chrome browser likely attributed to IE’s loss over the last few months, though the newest browser still holds under 1% of the browser market.
Interestingly enough, even though Chrome demands the least market share, it still beat out Opera.
