Firefox's market share is declining. Although it is not as irreversible as IE, its performance in the past three months seems to be hinting at a reality. This 25% goal, which is far away, seems to be Firefox's eternal pain. At the same time, Chrome is forging ahead. In fact, in the past month, Chrome has been the only browser that has made people feel optimistic.
The following are the results of Net Applications' latest browser market share survey:
Between January and February, IE lost 0.6 share, Firefox lost 0.18, Chrome rose 0.41% to finally reach 5.61%, while Safari fell 0.06%, and Opera fell from 2.38% to 2.35%, although they expected Opera 10.5 will make a difference.
The above picture is the performance of Firefox in the past year. It can be seen that Firefox has shown decline. In the past three months, it has continued to decline unprecedentedly. However, the total share of decline is less than 1%. Therefore, Firefox still has opportunities. Since the release of Firefox 3.6 two months ago, Firefox has not gained new shares as a whole. However, the share of 3.6 has reached 5.16%, which means that it will catch up with Chrome this month. Firefox seems to have increased advertising like Google. Intensify, and even
open up the OEM pre-installation market like Google.
Compared with Firefox, IE's decline is very obvious. However, overall, IE's share still accounts for more than half of the country. Since 2010, one in every four Internet users uses IE8. It seems that it is bound to the operating system. The strategy is indispensable. IE7 is declining faster than IE6, which seems to be related to some business users still using the old intranet system. In addition, XP's share is relatively larger than Vista. Perhaps the emergence of IE9 can bring about changes.
As Microsoft launches a random browser strategy in Europe, Microsoft's market share will continue to fluctuate. Users who know nothing except IE will have the opportunity to be exposed to new browsers. In the near future, if IE's market share It wouldn't be surprising if there was a sharp decline.
