January has proven an interesting month in the browser market. IE grew in the first month of 2012, while both Firefox and Chrome lost market share, Chrome for the first time in its history.
Internet Explorer, all versions combined, ended the month with 52.96 percent market share, according to Net Applications data, up from 51.87 percent in the previous month. This is the first growth IE has seen in many months.
Firefox continued to lose some market share, a bit faster than in previous months, and it dropped by almost one percent point reaching a market share of 20.88 percent.
If this had been any other month, this would have put Chrome within striking distance but, surprisingly, Google Chrome also lost market share this month, albeit a small amount, going from 19.11 percent in December to 18.94 percent in January.
