Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 (IE 8) is slowly booming
Internet Explorer has released a newest web browser, called Internet Explorer 8 (IE 8 ). But the IE users is not really rushing to embrace IE 8, from the debuted on Thursday. As of 1 p.m. EDT Friday, usage of IE 8 accounted for only 1.56 percent of global Internet traffic, according to StatCounter Global Stats. That’s up only slightly from 1.39 percent on Thursday. It is kind of different with the release of Firefox 3 on last June. Usage of Firefox3, which accounted for 7.8 percent of Web usage during its beta testing, more than doubled to 18.9 percent during a three-day period after its formal release.
IE 8 has received mixed reviews from testers and early users. There have been published reports that the browser has caused system crashes and some Web sites don’t display properly using the software. The browser also has compatibility issues with web standard, such as CSS, HTML4 and XHTML when tested with The Web Standards Project’s Acid Test 3.
Microsoft is counting on IE 8 to help reverse erosion of its share of the Web browser market. Microsoft IE has been losing ground to competitors, such as Apple’s Safari, Google’s Chrome and the open-source Firefox from Mozilla.
