 Hi avast forum members,

     IE8 fails to stem slippage; Chrome jumps after Google touts browser

       Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE), which again fell to a new market share low last month, is on a pace of decline that will push the once overwhelming dominant browser under 50% by this time in 2011, according to new Web usage data. More on the news here

Only time will tell. Statistics are meaningless since they only reflect the intended hypothesis.  ;D

Yeah, and who knows, the stats may be wrong.  I have 4 browsers installed and use them whenever I feel like.  Sometimes FF, Chrome, IE, or Avant.

Just because they see a user using a certain browser, doesn't mean that the user might not come back at a later date using another browser...
