DaMan Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/09/30/chrome-firefox-and-safari-browsers-chewing-away-at-ie-market-share"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-106099" title="chitika_report" src="http://www-bgr-com.vimg.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/chitika_report.jpg" alt="" width="625" height="407" /></a> A new research report from Chitika Insights suggests Chrome, Firefox and Safari are eating away at Microsoft’s dominant share of the web browser market. Internet Explorer’s overall share dropped from 56% in July to 54% in August while Firefox’s market share increased from 19% to 20% and Safari’s share grew one point to 9%. Between July 2010 and July 2011, however, Microsoft’s browser share remained steady at 56%. Google’s Chrome web browser saw its share increase from 9% to 16% year-over-year at the expense of Firefox and Safari, which lost 5% and 1% of the market, respectively. Chitika said it expects Firefox’s share to increase as <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/09/28/mozilla-releases-firefox-7-for-windows-and-mac/">Mozilla continues to release frequent updates to its web browser</a>. In addition, Internet Explorer’s share will “stabilize from its recent losses” when <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/09/13/microsoft-windows-8-launches-to-developers-this-week-loaded-with-new-features-video/">Microsoft releases Windows 8</a> and Internet Explorer 10.<span id="more-106092"></span> <a href="http://insights.chitika.com/2011/web-browser-market-share-september-2011-update/">Read</a> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~4/6hiMJoAPBDo" height="1" width="1"/> Via BRG - Boy Genius Report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
