Top Browser Market Share For June 2008
After the launch of Firefox 3 on June 17th, I just hardly wait until June was over so I could see how this new release had impacted its market share performance. As you know, I use Net Applications as my reliable source for this information.
According to Net Applications, these are the statistics for June 2008:
(Expressed in Percentages)
| Web Browsers | June | May | Difference |
| Internet Explorer | 73.01 | 73.75 | 0.74 |
| Firefox | 19.03 | 18.41 | 0.62 |
| Safari | 6.31 | 6.25 | 0.06 |
| Opera | 0.73 | 0.71 | 0.02 |
| Netscape | 0.67 | 0.62 | 0.05 |
| Others | 0.25 | 0.26 | 0.01 |
| Total | 100 | 100 | 0 |
COMMENTS:
Even though Mozilla Firefox 3 was available during only thirteen days in June, it grabbed 19.03 percent of the market. This helped Mozilla increase its market share by 0.62 points. During July it is expected that Firefox could reach the 20 percent landmark, meaning that one out of every five web surfers would be using Firefox as their preferred Web browser.
Apple Safari was on slow motion in June. It only advanced 0.06 points. This was also true with Norwegian Opera who remained almost stagnant. However, we all know that the real party for Opera is in the mobile phone arena where it flies high above the rest of the pack.
It was a surprise that Netscape increased its market share by 0.05 points. I know this isn't much, but considering it's a dying species, I think it speaks highly of its loyal fans.
Now it's time to play the waiting game until August comes along and we can take a look at July statistics. Good Day!
