Browser Market Share and Operating System Market Share White Paper

Microsoft Continues to Lose Browser Market Share !!!

Time-Warner (AOL) makes Fatal Strategic Error Kills Netscape

The Browser Market Share and Operating System Market Share White Paper data is by month starting in September 1997 through the August 2008

The summary findings in Janco's August 2008 Browser and OS Market Share White Paper are:

Firefox’s market share now is 18.94% versus 16.03% in August 2007

IE’s market share is 58.50% versus 64.48% in August 2007

Netscape’s market share has remained at the same level (11.63%) as before the announcement that it would no longer be supported.

Google Desktop is gaining in popularity and now commands 4.01% of the market

Microsoft’s Vista continues to have a slow acceptance and is on approximately 14.94% of internet connected desktops.

AOL Kills Netscape after over $5 billion was invested.....

On December 28, 2007 AOL announced that they will no longer support Netscape after February 1, 2008

Netscape has launched version 8 and no one noticed. From interviews with many users there was a common so what. In our opinion Netscape built it but they did not come. As we said in our earlier study, we feel that Netscape is almost invisible with its market share. The small gain that they had in market share is starting to erode.

In interviews with selected users, we found that many of them were turned off by the installation process. We often heard the comments that the process was ad and pop-up window laden. In addition several of the individuals we interviewed felt that the “overhead” associated with the ads in Netscape made it a much less effective tool to use. However they did say they liked many of the new features, including tabbed browsing.

The full study was produced in August 2008. See a full copy of the press release here.
