Microsoft (MSFT) Browser Ceding Market Share to Google (GOOG) and Mozilla

December 2, 2009 9:43 AM EST

A Net Applications report stated today, not to this writers disbelief, that Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Internet Explorer is losing market share to Mozilla Firefox and Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Chrome.

Over the past year, IE has lost 8 percentage points, and lost 1 percentage point last month. IE's market share is now down to 63.6%.

Mozilla's Firefox looks to pounce on a 25% share of the market, up from November's share of 24.7%. Google's Chrome has made a 0.4% jump to 3.9%.

Currently, Chrome is only available for Windows-based computers. A Mac version for Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) computers should be release some time in 2010.
