PC World is reporting that Firefox took nearly another full percentage point away from IE in the month of June.
Firefox increased its market share to 8.71 percent, up from 8 percent in May, while IE's share shrank to 86.56 percent from 87.23 percent, NetApplications.com, an Aliso Viejo, California, maker of applications for monitoring and measuring Web site usage, said Thursday in a statement.Since the beginning of the year, Firefox has increased its market share every month between 0.5 percent and 1 percent, mostly at the expense of IE, according to NetApplications.com, which compiles its browser usage data from more than 40,000 Web sites monitored by its HitsLink.com service.
Rounding out the top five browsers in June were Apple Computer Inc.'s Safari, with 1.93% market share; America Online Inc.'s Netscape, with 1.55%; and Opera Software ASA's Opera, with 0.59%.
And we're not done yet.
