Browser Battles: Safari still increasing in market share, IE continues to drop

Net Applications has release market share stats for the browser category updated as of November 2008, and they show some pretty interesting numbers. This data, which aggregates some 40,000 corporate and ecommerce websites, is reviewed by Quality Assurance. Are you ready for some numbers?

On top of the list, as usual, is Microsoft’s Internet Explorer with a 69.77% market share, which is down by almost 2% from last month. This 2% appears to have gone to both Mozilla’s Firefox and Apple’s very own Safari, as they each increased about 1%, coming in at 20.78% and 7.13% respectively. Head past the jump for more figures.

Many of these will be expected, and I certainly don’t care if Apple blocks access to all the applications containing porn and other naughty things. However, some of the applications I assume Apple will block could be extremely great ones that could really help make the iPhone better. The restriction of some of these apps by Apple will probably be pretty disappointing, but we have to remember that they are a company who likes to keep everything pretty much under their control to make sure it is stable.
