IE8 Is Outrunning Chrome, Firefox, and Opera
Source -In the browser race, Internet Explorer 8 is outrunning its rivals, without breaking a sweat. It’s always interesting to insist on certain statistics in order to get a deeper perspective, and browser-market data certainly offers the chance for insights beyond an initial interpretation. Earlier this month, Internet metrics company Net Applications released its monthly overview of the browser’s evolution in terms of usage share, harvesting and compiling info from approximately 160 million visitors per month.
Internet Explorer 8 continues to be the most used browser worldwide, a position it grabbed in January 2010, and that it is unlikely to lose anytime soon. IE8 currently accounts for 24.66% of the browser market, benefitting from a growth rate of no less than 1.08% in April 2010. At the start of this year, IE8 dethroned IE6, to grab the no.1 spot with a share of 22.37%, at that time, as opposed to IE6’s 20.00%. Still, Microsoft will need some fresh browser blood (I’m thinking IE9) to turn things around as far as the overall browser market is concerned, as the usage share of all IE versions continues to decrease.
