Last year internet Explorer has approximately 79% browser market share and after one year it only has 73% of browser market share. Mozilla’s Firefox is Internet Explorer’s main competitor. The web browser now holds 19 percent of the market, and is rapidly expanding the number of people that are using it. Over the last year, Firefox’s market share raised more than 4 percent, from the 14.65 percent it owned last summer.
