Internet Explorer has lost 10% of market share in the last four months, now counts for a microscopic 79.3% of my visits. Altavista's Scooter has 6.63%, Netscape and Mozilla 5.71% (up 0.08%), the Googlebot 4.82%, and Web Crawler best of the rest at 0.80%. Opera registered the traditional 0.17%.

Amongst consumer browsers, IE has 92.4%, Mozilla 6.65%, Konquerer 0.74%, Opera 0.20%.

35.03% of resolved hits went to .com addresses; 21.28% to .net, 15.00% to .uk addresses. .edu addresses are now fourth, accounting for 1.58%, just ahead of 1.45% from Canada and 1.24% from Australia. Belgium, France, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands and Finland all made at least 0.5%. 14.19% of visits just left an IP address, barely half the figure from December.
