Net Applications Browser Market Statistics

Once again, Net Applications, an analyst of various markets and segments related to the Network, published a report on the browser market. This report is quite interesting because it shows a tendency to reduce the popularity of the Firefox browser. Interestingly, the market share of Internet Explorer has ceased to decline, and even some growth has been noted. In the continuation - more detailed information.

So, about Internet Explorer: at the end of February, the market share of this browser increased by 0.08% compared with January, amounting to 56.8%. Perhaps this is a temporary trend, but the decline in popularity of Internet Explorer seems to have stopped. But last year there was a constant reduction in the market share of this browser. By the way, Microsoft developers claim that users show a fairly stable interest in Internet Explorer 9. Let me remind you that very soon the final version of this browser should appear.

Since the release of the first “beta” of the product, accessible to everyone, and not just to users, the IE9 distribution has been downloaded more than 36 million times.

As for Firefox, this browser is fine, but the growth has stopped, and its popularity has even fallen a little. So, in just one month, Firefox’s market share declined from 22.8% to 21.7%. Let me remind you that last year the same indicator was about 24%.

Google Chrome and Apple Safari show stable, though not very fast, growth. So, in February of this year, the share of Google Chrome and Apple Safari increased from 10.7 to 10.9% and from 6.3 to 6.36%, respectively.

As for Opera, this browser has lost 0.1% of the market (from 2.3% to 2.2%), while its mobile version shows the best result, expanding the market segment from 0.9% to 1.1%.
