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.
