According to Net Applications market share figures for January 2010 IE8 has just taken the world’s most used browser ‘top spot’ away from IE6. The current top 5 and their market share now read as follows;
- IE8 – 22.31%
- IE6 – 20.07%
- Firefox 3.5 – 17.01%
- IE7 – 14.58%
- Firefox 3.0 – 5.29%
The change in fortunes for IE6 is thought to be generally due to the decline in use of Windows XP.
