IE falls behind Firefox, Chrome in browser survey

Excludes GNU/Linux

They do not track GNU/Linux at all so the story is even worse for M$ than stated. Obviously IE is rarely used with GNU/Linux. The current running stats on the site do not agree with the published numbers in TFA. Perhaps the fans of M$ have piled on.

IE was added to that other OS in 1995 to increase lock-in. This evidence shows the lock-in is failing and the monopoly is ill.

Not surprised

With each new version IE gets worse and worse... slower and more complicated. I don't know why anyone would use it. Firefox is so much faster and easier to use and configure (once you understand the about:config options).

I haven't even tried Chrome. Why would I?

Significant

I've never heard of Wakoopa, but as an IT professional, I don't use IE or Outlook. I've used Netscape, then Firefox and Thunderbird nearly exclusively for years. That habit alone has protected me from 90% of the malware out there. And when someone asks me "How can I reduce the risk of getting infected?" I tell them that.

Get Real - Survey Obviously Wrong

Get Real.

Among other things, Net Applications puts Chrome's market share at a whopping 1.23%.

There is no way in the world that Chrome is more used than IE.

Net Applications puts Firefox's share at a respectable 22.05%, and IE at 66.82%.
