It’s been well publicised recently that following a European court case, Microsoft have had to follow it’s European Windows users the option to download a new web browser,

Has this impacted on the percentage of users that use IE?

In this article I noted the percentages of which browsers visited my sites. Here are the figures for the last month and comparisons to Firefox:

JPMBlog.com: 17% of visitors to the site used IE. (by comparison 56% use FireFox)

Netbook-experience.com: 16% of visitors to the site used IE. (by comparison 58% use FireFox and 18% use Chrome)

Techplay-experience.com: 31% of visitors to the site used IE. (by comparison 27% use FireFox)

The number of visitors to my sites using IE has definitely decreased  there’s no wonder Microsoft are investing lots of money in IE8 adverts.

With France and Germany both strongly advising its users not to use Microsoft’s Internet Explorer due to security issues in some versions, I started wondering how many people still use the once dominant browser.

Using Google Analytics I performed a quick report on the percentage of IE users to 3 of my Blogs over the last month:

JPMBlog.com: 29% of visitors to the site used IE. (by comparison 47% use FireFox)

Netbook-experience.com: 18% of visitors to the site used IE. (by comparison 63% use FireFox)

Techplay-experience.com: 30% of visitors to the site used IE. (by comparison 27% use FireFox)

Microsoft certainly don’t have the market share it once did.
