In Summary….
IE 8 is having a small setback (YEAH!)
IE 6 and IE 7 are Down as expected from last month.
Firefox remains Steady and is continuing it’s growth assault on the industry as the #1 Browser.
Chrome is up and the trend continues what we saw in 2009. What is interesting is that it is growing monthly by almost a full 1 percent. Which is quite a bit of usage if you think about the entire world on the internet.
Both Safari (yuck) and Opera remain low and are likely on their way out in the next couple years.
Overall Firefox is the most widely used browser on the Market today beating out all Versions of IE Combined by an amazing 14.7%, up 11.2% in only 2 months (from February Browser Reports)
