There has been no new release of IE, well Chrome, as always keeps popping out new releases every six weeks. It's no longer the fastest browser and it's once strongest feature-its multitude of extensions and add-on programs-is no longer unique.Īs to why IE is making a come-back. So why is this happening? In part, it seems to be that Firefox has lost some of its mojo in recent years. The long time number two Web browser dropped from 23.73% in July to 22.8% in August.Īfter a long decline, IE is back on its way up while Firefox continues its decline. Some of IE's gains were at Chrome's expense, but the real loser has been Firefox. By the end of the month, Chrome lost a bit, to 33.59% and IE had gained some to reach 32.85%. Chrome had increased its lead in July, 33.81% to IE's 32.04% but IE closed the gap in August. In August, though, IE started taking some market share back.
