• Keizer: Microsoft browsers dip back down again

    A detailed analysis on IE and Edge, based on August usage statistics.

    Overall, however, Microsoft’s fortunes remain dark in the browser race. While the share loss in the eight months of 2017 has been just over half that of same period of 2016 — illustrating a slowing of the bleeding — IE+Edge has shed almost a full percentage point each month so far this year. If that reduction rate keeps up, the browsers will vanish before this time in 2019.

    That’s very unlikely to happen.
