Browser Usage Stats - Late 2015 (but all we really care about is how much Internet Explorer has lost)
Current: http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser_version-ZA-monthly-201407-201507
With next generation app technologies like Meteor and others, we need a decent browser to take full advantage of the HTML5 features that make the web what it is today. Web sockets. Local Storage. CSS3. Etc.
Support for IE-anything has been rather sketchy since the launch of Meteor, but it works with IE 9+ for the most part.
Good to see that the trend is very clear though:
IE 10 and older is on a massive decline. At this rate we are looking at 1%-3% penetration by late 2016.
Interesting to note that Chrome, IE11 & Firefox combined have about 80% of the market now. In that order :)
Good news for developers like us!
And even better for customers; since easier development translates to lower costs...
