IE is about to lose the popular vote

written 31 Aug 2008 over a light lunch

Checking in with the W3Schools Browser Statistics, it looks like Internet Explorer is dangerously close to losing it’s majority share of the browser market.

IE7 IE6 IE5 Firefox Mozilla Safari Opera
26.4% 25.3% 0.3% 42.6% 0.5% 2.5% 1.9%
52% 47.5%

A pie chart showing the major browser's market shareAccording to that, Internet Explorer’s current versions hold 52% of the browser market share. The other major players hold 47.5%, which leaves half a percent to all of the other guys out there. Just 5 years ago IE held over 84% of the market share.

That’s a major hit.

  • That rocks!! And it’s about time, too.

    So There is a new browser coming out and the biggest search engine is the creator.

    It kind of makes me mad that mozilla gets no credit, FF did come from it and all.

    Just my .02
