CNet: Microsoft’s Dominance In Browser Wars Waning

With Microsoft’s share of Web connections dipping below 60% for the first time, the writing is on the wall. There are other viable options out there.


“Microsoft’s browser market share continued to fall in April, with Internet Explorer now in use for fewer than three in five Web connections.

IE’s share of the market in April was 59.95, down from 60.65 percent in March, according to Net Applications. Google’s Chrome grabbed the lion’s share of that, increasing to 6.73 percent from 6.13 percent, while Firefox also gained nearly a tenth of a percentage point, to finish April with 24.59 percent.”
