In the next day or two there will be loads of stats released talking about browser market share, so I am going to share with you the stats for my site. Let’s se how they compare with the “worldwide stats”. My browser share is broken down as follows:

1. Internet Explorer           36.00% 
2. Firefox                     24.00% 
3. Safari                      24.00% 
4. Chrome                      11.00% 
5. Mozilla Compatible Agent  3  3.00% 
6. Camino                       1.00% 
7. Opera                        1.00%

Compared to last months figures the big winner is Chrome which has jumped up from 3.12% last month to 11.00% this month. I think this is likely to be more reflective of what is happening on the web in general than last months figure.

The big loser is once again Internet Explorer that has dropped from 42.19% down to 36%, and while it is still 12 percentage points ahead of either Firefox or Safari it is yet another drop in marketshare for Microsofts browser.

Safari seems to be holding pretty steady dropping just a point from 25% last month to 24% this month. While Firefox has made some big gains with a jump from just over 20% last month up to 24% in July.

Of the remaining odds and ends it was interesting to see Camino on the list. Camino is a free Open Source browser for Macs, I hope the site renders well for you as I know it has not been tested with Camino, if you are using it do drop me a line and let me know.

I thought with the launch of the iPad that Safari might be doing a little better than it is. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few months, will Internet Explorer continue to slide, and if it does who will become the biggest browser?

Personally I think that when the main figures come out that we will find IE is holding it’s own with around 50% of the overall marketshare. We will find out in the next couple of days….
