The key trends that we’re seeing in this month’s NZ browser statistics:
- Internet Explorer as a whole has had a 1% decrease in usage on NZS.com
- Firefox, Google Chrome and Apple’s Safari have had small gains contributing to IE’s decrease
Internet Explorer 9 has now arrived on the scene and although it has a relatively small usage on NZS.com it has taken some decent chunks out of IE 8 and Internet Explorer 7. Internet Explorer 8 has had a 2% decrease from the previous month where as IE 7 had a 1% drop.
The kicker with IE 9 uptake though will be dependent on the uptake of Windows 7 as Internet Explorer 9 relies on the user running the latest Microsoft OS. The Internet Explorer stats were IE9 4%, IE8 73%, IE7 16%, IE6 6.4%.

This is great for web designers and developers as it means the majority of users will be on Microsoft’s most web compliant browser yet. IE 8 has again increased its popularity by around 2% with Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 6 declined by over 1%. The Internet Explorer stats were IE9 BETA 0.7%, IE8 74%, IE7 18%, IE6 8%.
