Opinion: Internet Explorer - Downfall

The following chart clearly shows that the usage of Internet Explorer was on the rise between 1995 and 2003 but has hit a steady decline ever since. This is partly due to the modern, more up-to-date browsers such as Firefox, Chrome and Safari (which comes as part of Mac OS).



However, a researcher claims other browsers are at more of a risk than IE, "People who say those kinds of things simply don't have a grasp on the internal organization of enterprises, or the bureaucracy of companies. Until enterprises flush out the internal applications that rely on IE, that use unsupported and undocumented layout commands, IE isn't going anywhere. And those dinosaur applications are almost impossible to get rid of."
