Internet Explorer is once again the preferred browser for Internet users

A few months ago, surrounded by a controversy over measurement, Google Chrome succeeded in narrowly surpassing Internet Explorer's years of reign as a whole in all its versions, including the more than obsolete IE6

In February things have changed their figures and Microsoft's browser takes more than half of the market pie. That is, with the sum of all its versions alone, it surpasses all the rest of the browsers together.

Reflections on Measurements

Thus, from the statistics published by Net Market Share it strikes me that there are still 6, 30% of users using the old, obsolete Internet Explorer 6A browser that had its moment of glory, but right now it can only be giving users problems who use it to navigate.

Another figure that makes one think is that the sum of IE9 and IE10 does not exceed the number of IE8 on the market. I think this is due to the Corporate Operating Systems (company) where those responsible for Infrastructures (IT) are not migrating to the higher version for reasons that I do not understand.

Everything that works in IE8, works in IE9. And the latter is a much more versatile browser and adjusted to current standards. It's a shame that ignorance or bureaucracy lead most IE users to use an outdated version.

IE10 penetration strongly tells me that Windows 8 is having trouble catching on in today's market. After these months since the presentation of Redmond's new operating system, it is clear that for now manufacturers and large distributors have turned their backs on it, and the powerful campaign of marketing is being diluted over time.

And until the massive landing of laptops, desktops and tablets arrives, Windows 7 users have no choice, just a few days ago they can use the new version of the browser. As a curiosity, if we restrict the statistics only to Tablets, the winner with a very similar percentage is Safari.

Chrome is suffering a small bump that makes it regress slightly from months ago, remaining behind the surprise of the statistics: Firefox.It may be that in my close and virtual environment there are not many people with the fox browser, but the graph shows that it has overtaken the people of Google and that it maintains a well deserved second place; even more so when Opera has given up and has adopted Chrome's WebKit as its browsing engine.
