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)

Internet Explorer 8 Bug

August 27th, 2008

Central Mass Web Design has been advised that Internet Explorer 8 has been released with a bug that will not always render the website the same way Internet Explorer 7 would have.

Microsoft has released an advisory to this with will permit the new browser to render like IE 7 if a piece of code is added.

If you are concerned that your site might not render correctly, then you should request CMWD to update the code by adding the Microsoft fix. This should not take long, however it can differ, depending on when and how your site was coded. If you are currently on a Website Maintenance Plan this change can be done during your monthly time, please request it. If you are not on a plan, please call our office and speak to someone about scheduling this update for you.

Please note that Browser Updates are not covered under our service agreements as we have no control over the browsers.
