IE, Chrome, Firefox has become the Three Kingdoms separation

Reading] IE still holds a 58.19% market share in the market and remains in the boss's position in the browser.

It is now about 4 months since the official release of IE 11, Firefox 27 and Chrome 33, and it is time to analyze the competitive browser market. Recently, the well-known foreign Internet statistics company NET applications published a report on the browser market, the following is the report.

From January to February this year, IE's market share fell 0.02% (to 58.19%); Firefox fell 0.4% (to 17.68%); Safari dropped 0.13% (to 16.84%) and opera dropped 0.05% (to 1.23%). In addition to the 0.56% increase in Chrome, other browsers have a decline in market share, but from the overall market share, ie still with 58.19% of the market share in the World browser dominate the position of the boss, and this is a little higher than the best performance in 2013. It seems that in 2014 IE is expected to occupy 60% of the market share.

For IE, in two months the latest IE 11 achieved 1.29% growth, but its former IE 10 fell to 8.04%, and even the market share has lagged behind the previous for IE 9. This is due to the increasing number of Windows 8 users upgrading Windows 8.1, I believe that in the next period of time, ie 10 market share will continue to decline rapidly. Unexpectedly, as the current most users of the browser, IE 8 unexpectedly increased significantly 0.48%, the market share reached 21.73%. In addition, the outdated IE 6 and IE 7 market share fell to 4.65% and 1.87% respectively. It is worth mentioning, in fact, until last September, ie 6 market share only below 5%.

In addition, Firefox did poorly in December, with its share falling below 18%, to 17.68%. Firefox 27 rose to 7.9%, while Firefox 26 dropped to 7.64%, with other versions including Firefox 23, 24 and 25 dropping 0.18%. On the other hand, Chrome continues to shrink the gap with Firefox. As of February this year, Chrome's market share reached 16.84%, compared with Firefox less than 1%. However, given that only 3.7% of the market share, the recent launch of the Chrome 33 also appears to be a bit weak, but the previous chrome 32 growth of 3.07%, to 9.86%, is quite popular.

Take a look at the survey data from another Internet statistics company, StatCounter. The results of the survey ranked the top three browsers are Chrome (43.89%), IE (22.49%) and Firefox (19.21%), although with NET applications statistics results in large, but at least it is certainly in the short term IE, The separation of Chrome and Firefox will not change.
