Microsoft via their Internet Explorer browser continues to lose marketshare in the browser market to Safari, Chrome, And FireFox. The latest figures from Net Applications gives IE a 67.55% share of the market at the moment, which is a 1% slide since last month. Firefox is up to 21.53% while Safari is up to 8.29% and Chrome is up to 1.12%. All of which are gains over the previous month.
Since March 2008, IE has lost over 7%. I’m guessing that Microsoft is betting that IE 8 which has a release candidate out in the wild will help to stop the bleeding. But perhaps the game is already over. We’ll see when IE 8 actually ships.
