clearly the dominant player, but its numbers are steadily decreasing. It started 2006 at 85.31 percent. In January 2005, however, it held 89.44 percent of the market. Its loss is a gain for Firefox and Safari.
2006 established fairly standard growth patterns for Web browsers: up for Safari and Firefox, down for Internet Explorer.

Safari ended the year at 4.24 percent, and Firefox came in at 14 percent. Technology News: Consumer: Firefox, Safari Gain on Internet Explorer in ‘06
