Browser Market Shares

I haven't written about the latest market shares of web browsers, so here they for February 2012 as recorded by NetMarketShare

Desktop


Internet Explorer still leads the pack at 52.8%


Firefox retains second place with a share of 20.9%


Google's Chrome is in third place with a share of 18.9% and rising all the time. It is likely to overtake Firefox soon.


Apple's Safari is hovering around the 5% mark.


Mobile


However, for mobile browsing, Safari dominates thanks to the ubiquity of the iPhone and iPad. It stands at 61% in February 2012.


Android has just under 19%, while Blackberry languishes at under 1.7%.
