Web designers and business owners will need to take action as Internet Explorer’s market share is now at 44 per cent. In a climate of increasing competition from superior alternatives such as FireFox and Google`s Chrome, plus pro-competition legislation that forces Microsoft to present alternatives, Internet Explorer usage has declined steadily.
This means that anyone who owns or runs a website must check that it works and displays properly on the three main browsers: Internet Explorer, FireFox and Chrome. Ironically the latest version of Internet Explorer ( version 8 ) has been very well received, however the damage has been done.
