Windows 8.x and Internet Explorer have been growing steadily over the last few months. That growth appeared to come to a screeching halt in June, with both the operating system and the browser ending the month in much the same place they started it.
June saw big movements among the second and third placed browsers. Chrome was up a substantial 1.61 points, with Firefox falling a hefty 1.21 points. Internet Explorer saw a small increase, up 0.21 points. Those Firefox and Chrome changes are substantial. Although Firefox has been trending downwards for some time, and Chrome trending upwards, neither has had a swing this big.
Those kind of swings are no big deal in the mobile market. Safari continues to cede share to the Android browsers. Apple's browser is down 2.65 points, with Android Browser up 0.9 points, and Chrome 0.88 points. Android's strength in the mobile market is continuing to make its presence felt. Among the also rans, Internet Explorer fell 0.10 points, BlackBerry was up 0.13 points, and Symbian was down 0.03 points.
