<< back Web browser update: the march of mobile searching continues

which browsers people use in 2016

As the year draws to a close, we thought we'd revisit our regular web browser stats infographic and see how the battle of the browsers is doing.

Once again, the figures, for the end of November 2016, show the march of Chrome here in the UK, at the expense of both Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox.

However, as before, Windows maintains a grip on computer operating systems - Over 75% of people use Windows (that's an awful lot of blue screens of death!).

We've highlighted the importance of mobile and mobile search in recent years. This insistence that mobile cannot be ignored is once again reflected in the web statistics.

The share of market for mobile operating systems has risen over 17% in 12 months, as more people find smart phones and tablets indespendible for an increasing number of activities, including shopping, ordering meals, getting about, and gaming.
