Over the last month, Internet Explorer&#8217;s share of the browser market dropped by 1 percent, the first noticeable decline since WebSideStory began tracking the browser market in late 1999. &#8216;It&#8217;s the first time that we&#8217;ve seen a sustained trend downward for them,&#8217; said Geoff Johnston, an analyst with WebSideStory. &#8216;We have a very steady trend. It&#8217;s been about a month, and every day we have a steady incremental change.&#8217; Internet Explorer has held more than 95 percent of the browser market since June 2002, and until June had remained steady with about 95.7 percent of the browser market, according to WebSideStory&#8217;s measurements. Over the last month, however, its market share has slowly dropped from 95.73 percent on June 4 to 94.73 percent on July 6.&#8221; - <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,116848,00.asp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow ugc">Source</a></p> “A series of highly publicized security vulnerabilities found in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer Web browser may be having an effect on the browser’s market share, according to data compiled by WebSideStory, a San Diego Web metrics company.
