As of August, 2010, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer’s market share slide continues. Compared with July, IE has dropped from 57.13% of the browser market to 56.09%, a continuing trend. Although IE is still by far the #1 browser in terms of traffic share, third-party browsers continue to eat into that lead, little by little.
The big winner in August is Google’s Chrome browser, which saw its traffic share rise from 8.27% to 9.21%. Mozilla’s Firefox saw a small gain, Opera’s traffic increased significantly from 1.08% to 1.63%, and Apple’s Safari browser lost nearly a percent.
The Numbers:
| MSIE | Firefox | Safari | Chrome | Opera | Other | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| May | 59.26% | 22.85% | 9.29% | 7.88% | 0.69% | 0.03% |
| June | 58.69% | 23.42% | 9.31% | 7.86% | 0.68% | 0.04% |
