Worldwide Browsing – Chrome Up, IE Down

By Darron | Emerging Technology | One comment so far

StatCounter graphEver wonder which browser is most used in the world? Most of us can probably guess that Internet Explorer dominates. Well, most of us would be right then. However, Google Chrome is making a significant impact on IE market share. You can see in the graph below (from http://gs.statcounter.com/) that while Firefox use has pretty much remained stable over the past year, IE has been declining as Chrome grows more popular. In the past year, IE lost 8.78% of global market share while Chrome picked up 9.4%, which means it’s presence nearly tripled in 12 months. Meanwhile, Firefox use declined by about 1%. StatCounter Also tracks things like browser versions, platforms and mobile devices…even some social media. They drill down to the continent and country level as well, which is extremely helpful when developing courses for specific geographic markets.It will be interesting to watch the trends to see how we tought to change
