Internet Explorer, long the bane of Web site developers everywhere, is being given the old heave-ho by many users.
In my weekly look at browser statistics (thank you, StatCounter), I was pleased to see that the combination of IE 8 and Firefox’s growth has finally taken over Internet Explorer 7′s dominance. As of today, June 15, 2009, at 11:20 a.m. EST, Firefox 3.0 has 32.09% of the browser market, with IE 7, for the first time ever, dipping below Firefox ever so slightly and coming in at 32.05%. These numbers are for the North American marketplace.
UPDATE: I was wrong. Well, only partially. At the time I wrote this post Firefox 3.0 hadn’t surpassed IE7. But that’s because it was still morning. However, it is worth noting that Firefox is VERY close. See the graph after the jump to see what the day of deliverance will look like.
Sorry for the false excitement!
