The newer versions of Internet Explorer are declining in use, while the older IE7 has actually gained a tenth of a percent and the even older IE6 is clinging to that last point six percent. Meanwhile, the other browsers have all dropped in popularity slightly with the exception of Chrome, which gained more than a whole percent. They must really be doing something right!
