Internet Explorer Market Share Declining
Edit: If you came from the other Treadwell site looking for the Timothy Treadwell blog entry, you can find it here.
No big surprise, given Microsoft’s lack of development on IE and the spyware/virus mess that is plaguing IE and the Windows platform.
Internet Explorer is continuing to lose share to the open-source Firefox Web browser.
In the past month, use of Microsoft Corp.’s dominant browser fell another 1.5 percentage points to 90.3 percent. Meanwhile, the Mozilla Foundation’s Firefox browser rose 0.9 percentage points to reach 5 percent, Web analytics provider WebSideStory Inc. confirmed Thursday.
I expect – and hope – that we’ll see a return to real competition in the browser market. I’d like to see Firefox/Mozilla hit the 50% mark at some point. Microsoft needs to be pushed to improve IE and to improve security in Windows.
