Browser Market Share - June 2008

[zerologic]

Both Opera and Firefox had big releases during the month of June, but neither one was made available until halfway through the month. So we might not be seeing the full results from the new releases. They both still climbed in the overall market share usage for June, and I suspect that July will be an even better month for them.

Opera is really that low? It's too nice a browser to be that low...

I was quite surprised to see Safari doing so well. :o

I doubt that it's because people like it... More like because many Mac users don't know there's better out there, much like IE on Windows.

well, yea, it's always the niche browser that no one knows, well, at least 99% of the people out there never knows.

but then if we put those stats into a little perspectives (by your humble "unbiased" Opera fan, of course :p)

IE : a decrease of 1.00%

Firefox : an increase of 1.00%

Safari : an increase of 0.96%

Opera : an increase of 2.82%

Netscape : an increase of 9.68%

Mozilla (SeaMonkey?) : an increase of 12.5%

Konqueror : an increase of 50%

Now I thought Netscape is already dead? Seems it's never gonna die even after AOL pulled the plug on it...

And how Konqueror pulled that stunt? :blink:

what's the diff between firefox and mozilla?

[Digitalx]

I would say safari boost came from the itunes push and intro to windows.

Safari is perfectly adequate for a default browser on OSX. Quite often there's no need to switch...

I think it's referring to what used to be Mozilla's all-in-one project, SeaMonkey - http://www.seamonkey-project.org/

No. The market share of Safari/Windows is negligible. Safari's total market share is increasing because the OS X market share is steadily increasing.

firefox 3.0 released last month,then also it show growth of .62%

also recently apple forcing Safari installs with itunes

Whee, let's go Safari!

Maybe if they make a good Safari 4 for Windows, it will be more popular. Then again, the grey skin causes some problems.

I think Safari's market share is ipretty much only nfluenced by the number of Macs bought, not by Windows users... because they just hate Safari in overall.

Edit : As well as iPhones and iPod touch

For Safari to become usable (at least for me): not be a freaking memory hog, not be slow to start up, don't install other crap I don't need (Apple software updater), not be a freaking memory hog, render pages faster, and many other things. It is just imo all types of fail

Go Firefox and Opera

[Ferret]

I still can't believe that IE is doing so well - I didn't think it was !

Well non techy people see the words "Internet explorer" on their desktop, they figure that's all they need to surf the web. IE7 works fine

[PyX]

IMO Safari renders pages fast, but it's a fraking memory hog I agree on that. Apparently it's the worst (according to some benchmark I've seen) even on OS X maybe.

[Nicholas-c Veteran]

basically... IE users are going away and majority too Fx :p

[Crazysah]

I did not expect Opera too be soo low. We Opera users must do something about it.

[jokeripa]

Doing Remote Desktop Support I see alot of PC's daily.

The only browsers I have seen on peoples PCs doing this is Internet Explorer and Firefox at around 15 to 1 to in IE's favour. Sometimes there will be something wrong with there IE and I'll ask them if they have FF or any other browser installed and they'll say something to 'wtf?'

But you have to remember 98% of corporations will be using IE on there network, and generally have a policy against installing non standard software so that has to count significantly, and also the people that don't know much about PC's obviously. I don't think I've ever talked to an IT enthusiast that prefers IE.. to anything.

[Mr Winkle]

the reason why i don't deploy firefox on the work network is simply because mozilla don't supply an msi or group policy template for central configuration. that's why most companies use internet explorer: you can set proxy, homepage and favourites all centrally.

I'm sure it'd be even lower if it wasn't for wii's browser.

[sundayx Veteran]

Could be better, could be better...
