While Microsoft’s Internet Explorer once had a commanding lead over all other browser applications, that share has been shrinking. IE held an over 75 percent share of the market in May 2008, and now that has shrunk to less than 60 percent (as of the end of April 2010).
Apple’s browser, Safari, has nearly doubled from 2.85 percent to 4.72 percent over the past two years. More prominently, however, Chrome has gone from a zero percent market share to a 6.73 percent share, suggesting its open source model is catching on. Mozilla Firefox also continued its steady increase, from roughly 18 percent to nearly 25 percent over the past two years.
