Although Microsoft still dominates the web browser space, its Internet Explorer continues to lose market share to open-source rival Mozilla. Internet Explorer held more than 95% of the US browser market for several years, but its share dropped to 94.7% in July and had declined further to 92.9% on 29 October, WebSideStory, a web metrics company, said. Benefiting from high-profile security vulnerabilities in the Microsoft browser and recommendations by experts to switch, the Mozilla Foundation saw its market share rise.
