Internet Explorer looses ground in the browser wars
The latest figures out from researcher Net Applications have shown that Microsoft’s web browser Internet Explorer is loosing ground to its rivals Firefox and Google Chrome.
The research shows us that Internet Explorer has 62% of market share down from 68.2% last March. At the same time Google Chrome gained 1.6% up to 5.2% and Firefox gained 1% to 24.4% as did Safari to 4.5%.
It show us that IE6 has dropped 11% while IE8 gained from 1% upt to 22.4% which is more than any other browser over the same period.
What does it all mean?
Well from our perspective at I.W.S. it's important that your web developer designs your website so it is compatible with all browsers on all platforms. We come across many sites that where designed for IE back when it held 85% of the market and now these sites perform badly when viewed in alternative browsers.
Our prediction is that IE will continue to loose market share and it is paramount that your website is designed to perform well across all browsers
