Internet Explorer 8 has finally replaced Internet Explorer 6 as 'the most popular browser in the world'. It was confirmed by Market intelligence firm NetApplications. It accounted for 22.31 % of the global browser market, in January 2010. Significantly, it took only 10 months to become world's most popular browser.
Internet Explorer 6 saw its market share falling by 20.07 %, last month, due to the security flaws in the browser.
The market share of Firefox and Google Chrome rose by 17.1 % and 3.92 %, respectively. Opera, Safari and other browsers account for only a few percentage points.
Google has also announced that it will be phasing out support for Internet explorer 6, from today, for most of its services.
Windows 7 browser has been Microsoft's most successful OS for the last few months, and Internet Explorer 8 is its default browser.
