Ten Reasons for ending Internet Explorer's market monopoly

Before that, we once made such a report that the Internet Explorer's market share declined, and Chrome became a hacker behind the scenes. In fact, there are some reasons for IE. Industry analysts recently pointed out that although IE still has the largest market share in the browser market, its monopoly is coming to an end.

According to the latest data from the research company NetMarketShare, the market share of IE browsers fell to April this year in 59.95%, the first time the market share of Microsoft browsers fell below 60%. In contrast, the overall market share of competitors is on the rise. In this regard, some analysts believe that although IE still has the most market share, its monopoly position is gradually lost, and eventually will lose its dominant position. The following are the 10 reasons why IE is ending its monopoly position:

1. EU sanctions

To avoid EU sanctions, Microsoft agreed to provide "browser security options" in the European market, allowing users to install browsers other than IE. After the launch of the service, the competitor's browser market share increased significantly.

2. Microsoft's arrogance

Over the years, Microsoft has always been complacent about the success of IE browser, and has hardly cared about the rise of Firefox, Chrome, and other competitors. Therefore, Microsoft did not invest much money to improve IE, nor did it listen to users' voices.

3. Security Issues of IE browser

Internet Explorer is Microsoft's most disturbing software.

4. From ie6.

At present, most security issues of IE browser begin with ie6. Besides security issues, IE is not designed and functional satisfactorily.

5. Lack of functions

As a mainstream browser, IE does not support many features required by users. For example, the multi-tag browsing function is several years behind competitors.

6. Rapid Development of Google Chrome

Although the market share is still far from that of IE browsers, the development speed of Chrome is obvious, not far from that of the second largest browser.

7. joint attacks by competitors

Not only did Google, Mozilla, Opera, and apple make great efforts in the browser market, but also increased its market share.

8. Users are becoming more and more savvy

Users are increasingly familiar with various browsers, and their choices are increasingly wise.

9. The rise of non-well-known manufacturers

Compared with Microsoft and Google, Mozilla and Opera may not have a high reputation, but their products have become synonymous with stability and security.

10. Microsoft does not have a clear Web strategy

One of the reasons for the decline of Internet Explorer is that Microsoft still has no clear Web strategy. So far, Microsoft's online business is still in a loss state.
