I see an increase in IE usage also at the same time as Chrome increases. Are these poeple the ones that are BETA’ing IE8 as well as Chrome?
This is just the beginning however. 1% over a day, imagine over a few months. 20 or 30% guys? Keep the great posts up statcounter
great information here my massage website is looking up thanks to stat counter cheers vacations in Hawaii visit kauaiMassages.com room rates kauai activities and more kauai coupons more …..lol 😉 🙂
We’re getting stats today of less than 0.3% on Chrome. Dating site stats (so users might not be savvy enough to change) but thats still a big disparty to day 1-5 figues. Anyone else got big anomalies like this?
IE is the giant is only because of it’s OS, Windows, in my point of view.
Somemore alots of less tech-savvy or less internet-savvy users don’t know about other browsers. There are also alots of people are already so used to IE that they don’t wish to change their browsers.
I believe very soon, market share will be taken away from IE in time to come by other browsers. Firefox and Google Chrome is the two that Microsoft need to worry about. And for their OS, they must keep a lookout for MAC OS. Microsoft must be on their toes and be more proactive in the market.
I was under the impression that it will be Chrome Vs. Microsoft but right now its like Chrome Vs. FireFox. FireFox has added lot of feature with its third version but there will be tuff fight. Ultimately it will be fight between Microsoft Vs. Chrome.
safari and firefox down Google can do everything on internet.
Google rocks!
Thanks Statcounter,
