Internet Explorer still loses to Firefox


Over the past year, only gone one way for Microsoft's Web browser, and it is downward. From February last year to nearly 75 percent of the browser market, the latest global figures from Net Applications now that the browser at the end of December last year had lost nearly 7 percent, and now used by 68 percent of net surfers.


Most of the seven percent that IE has lost in 2008, Firefox has picked up. Firefox has gone from having just over 17 percent of the browser clients to have more than 21 percent in December. Apple's Safari offers grew by 2.5 percent to be close to 8 percent and Google's Chrome browser, which recently came out of beta stage, came straight to climb over 1 percent of users by the end of last year.


The Norwegian Opera browser seems to be largely unaffected by the others fight, and is stable at around 0.70 percent of network users.
