IE 6 is the most popular browser around the world?
As December comes, the browser market share of September is available to us too.
According to Net Applications’s job, Microsoft’s IE browser lost more market-share during September while rivals Firefox and Chrome gained. During the month of September, IE decreased by 1.3 percentage points in September, falling to 65.7%. However, IE has lost 8.5 percentage points in the last 12 months and has dropped 2.6 points in the last three months alone.
The market share of browsers above is just for some kinds of popular browsers, but have you paid attention to all browsers (such as IE 6, Firefox 3.5, etc) ? If you have done it, you must be amazed for IE 6 browser is still dominating the market, according to Net Application.
Compared to August, IE6 has lost only 0.8% of its market share, dropping to 24.4%, which still makes it by far the most popular web browser, in front of Internet Explorer 7.0 with 19.39%, Internet Explorer 8.0 with 16.84%, Firefox 3.5 with 12.65%, and Firefox 3.0 which holds 9.62% of the browser market.
Is it amazing and surprising? If let you choose a better browser, no one will be browsing with IE 6. Unfortunately, it seems that old habits die hard and there are so many people who stick to use IE 6.
