The slow, steady decline of Microsoft (MSFT) Internet Explorer continues apace with the ubiquitous browser charting another market share low in January. According to data released Monday by Net Applications, IE ended the month with 67.55 percent of the browser market–down .06 percent from December and nearly eight percent from the same time last year. Meanwhile, Mozilla’s Firefox, Apple’s (AAPL) Safari and Google’s (GOOG) Chrome all made small gains, apparently at IE’s expense.
Yes, IE’s month-over-month drop is piddling. But the year-over-year decrease is worth noting because it shows the rate of decline in IE’s market share nearly doubled over the last 12 months.
