Internet Explorer loses market share

MICROSOFT'S MIGHTY Internet Explorer is fast losing its market share, according to figures by Dutch based traffic outfit OneStat.com.

Apparently only 88.9 percent of known world use the browser indicating that its time is up and Vole should surrender entirely.

Niels Brinkman, OneStat.com co-founder, said in a statement that the defections from IE were to the new look Firefox or Mozilla.

OneStat's statistics are based on Web activity in 100 countries, showed that IE's market share slipped to 88.9 percent in November, down five per cent from May.

Mozilla-based browsers, including Firefox, rose to 7.4 per cent, up five per cent. The figures show that IE is losing its shine, probably because of the fact that most hackers design their exploits to turn it over. However as one analyst pointed out, Vole's competition is still trivial in size and a long way from doing serious damage.

But then people used to say that about AMD. [Who they? Ed.] µ
