According to the data, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8.0 currently holds a 22.67% market share, while Internet Explorer 10 holds a 13.52% share. Internet Explorer 9 is down to 11.71% share while Internet Explorer 6 is down to 6.13% share. Google’s Chrome 27 comes in second place, right behind IE8 and right above IE10. Mozilla’s Firefox rounds out the top three browser brands and is right below IE10 in terms of market share.

Microsoft has been touting Internet Explorer 10 as the browser that was designed with security in mind as well as the browser perfect for touch. Microsoft also touts Internet Explorer 10’s ability to block over 99% of malware and has less vulnerabilities compared to rival browsers on the Windows operating system.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
