IE Usage Drops Below 50%

Category: From My Life, IT ThoughtsJeremy Wright @ 9:40 am

I’ve done these updates a few times before on IE and Firefox usage.

Here are the latest stats. I suspect the slip is largely due to a different type of user making their way here, as opposed to a general shift in my audience. Hard to tell when I’ve had more visitors this month than in the last 6 combined.

Here’s the breakdown:

IE: 45.2%
Firefox: 35.4%
Other Moz-based browsers: 14.5%

Which puts IE at under 50% for the first time ever. And it also puts Moz-based browsers, including Firefox, as more popular than IE.

Crazy.

    ..I feel guilty by association, Jeremy. I might need to unsubscribe.

    Jeremey: do you have Geo IP Status too ?? This will be interesting as this will link into geo locational areas to see which Countries are favouring IE/ FF and or Moz broswer !!

    Jeremy,

    Where did you get the data? I am looking all over for a link and can’t find anything.

    gotta ask, but what’s so crazy about it?

    Out of interest Jer – are you a Firefox convert or do you still use Internet Exploder? (as my old boss used to call it!)
    Gosh – I love the Tabs on Firefox…

    This is not crazy, but great. It just proves that people have finally understood the benefits of proper browsers. Long live Firefox!
