IE is about to lose the popular vote
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% |
According 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.
