2006 Website Browser Stats Review
2006 Website Browser Statistics - Year End Results
Well another year is gone and here is the browser war roundup for the year of 2006. This year we saw the much anticipated IE 7 browser release and although they have taken some nice strides forward , and having it rollout in the Microsoft Update , there still is a lack of early adopters (although many of the IE 7 percentages below come from December of this year after the rollout).
As with last year's stats , Firefox continues to gain footing in the techy sector (as seen below from Site 1 & 6). IE's total market share has dropped from 85.58 to 72.54% and Firefox has moved from 10.55 to 22.67% over last year.
