I disagree with combining the IE5 and 5.5 results into one number. Although it may seem like a straightforward matter of addition, due to rounding, the actual total could be off by .01% either way. For example, the current total could actually be closer to 0.13% (or 0.11%) than 0.12%. While this may seem minor, in the absence of any compelling reason to combine the numbers, I feel they should be split back out. --Groggy Dice T | C 01:21, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Why even bother listing anything older than IE6? They have negligable market share (all less than 0.1%) Thelem (talk) 23:42, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Well, I just checked to see what 5.5 market share was, so, it must still be relevant. -- Anonymous 16:01, 28 July 2009 (PST) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.37.191.157 (talk)
I think more than 67.44% use the internet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1wolfblake (talk • contribs) 22:37, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Heard of Firefox, Safari (web browser), Google Chrome or Opera (web browser)?
70.176.166.8 (talk) 17:56, 7 September 2011 (UTC) The total % added up is 104% which is an entirely different problem.
The link used as a reference here is currently showing a "we are preparing a report" page; before the beginning of July, this showed a nice graph backing up the numbers we had here. One IP tried vandalizing this article by putting in deliberately bogus numbers; I reverted their changes but another IP (from a completely different geographic location) put in numbers that look reasonably plausible but are not supported by any external reliable sources. I will revert this in a few days back to the old May numbers if we can't get a copy of a survey backing up the numbers here; the survey has been in preparation since the beginning of July.

Net Applications started country weighting this month, which has lead to big shifts in the reported share. In addition, Internet Explorer 5.5 has dropped off the chart — I wasn't sure how to record this, so I just put in <0.03% (0.03% being the lowest shared listed). —Stephen Morley (talk) 07:19, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
How relyable are the MSIE6 numbers. MSIE 6 UA lines seem to be in pretty high use in web spiders and rippers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.163.132.66 (talk) 07:51, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
only one site as source for browser marketshare? you can do it better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.135.213.65 (talk) 09:12, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
This is the only resource of global statistics that I can find that splits out the IE market share by version. W3CShools also has a statistics page that breaks it out by IE version, however this data is collected by the users of that site, who tend to be web developers. This tends to make that source bias.
I don't know which statistics to believe: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp (IE combined hovers around 30%); statcounter claims IE has a 52% (see http://gs.statcounter.com/) and mashable seems to support net aplplication's numbers (see http://mashable.com/2010/02/01/browser-stats-chrome/). My favorite stat is this one: http://www.michaelvandaniker.com/labs/browserVisualization/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.253.84.165 (talk) 18:16, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
The reports from Net Applications now only show the top five items, with the more detailed data hidden behind a pay wall. This means that the data for Internet Explorer versions before version 6 are no longer available without payment.—Stephen Morley (talk) 06:51, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
It really needs a update, dear. The browser dropped below 1% of the market, this information is completly out of date. Anyone, please do --Extra 999 (Contact me) 14:43, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
There are two charts with the same content on this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.68.128.53 (talk) 20:14, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
