Firefox Tops Internet Explorer in Europe
BOSTON (TheStreet) -- Mozilla's Firefox browser overtook Microsoft's(MSFT) Internet Explorer in December to become the No. 1 browser in Europe, according to StatCounter, a Web site analytics company.
StatCounter said Firefox last month took 38.11% of European market share, compared to Internet Explorer's 37.52%. "This is the first time that IE has been dethroned from the No. 1 spot in a major territory," said Aodhan Cullen, StatCounter CEO. "This appears to be happening because Google's(GOOG) Chrome is stealing share from Internet Explorer while Firefox is mainly maintaining its existing share." Google Chrome lifted market share in Europe in December to 14.58% from 5.06% a year earlier, StatCounter said. Internet Explorer maintains its lead in North America: Its share of the browser market in December was 49.82%, while Firefox's market share was 26.7% and Chrome's was 12.82%. -- Written by Joseph Woelfel >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Joseph Woelfel >To submit a news tip, send an email to: tips@thestreet.com.TheStreet Premium Services
