Firefox Market Share Drops

If you are a user who has come to value Mozilla Firefox, you might not be so happy to learn that Firefox has lost a bit of market share against Chrome for three straight months, according to the latest statistics from NetMarketShare. Chrome now has about seven percent global market share.

Many observers would suggest that Google's Chrome is likely to continue doing so, mostly at Mozilla’s expense. Firefox still has about 23 percent share of the global browser market, while Apple's Safari, for example, has just a bit over five percent.

Microsoft’s Internet Explorer saw its usage share rise a slender 0.42 per cent in June 2010, presumably on the strength of Internet Explorer 8, which boasts improved security and apparently is benefiting from a rather extensive marketing campaign. Microsoft has 61 percent share of the global browser market.
