Safari’s PC Numbers “Blowing Up”

by Mark Rowland on May 4, 2008 at 08:42 AM

Safari 3.1 has taken the PC world by storm

Although Safari has a very measly presence in the PC world, those numbers are changing.  With Safari 3.0, Apple had a fairly constant .07% of the PC Internet Browser share.  With the recent automatic download of Safari 3.1 angering and alienating many of those PC users, it was fairly unknown what the impact on the market share would be.  Things seem to be looking up for Safari 3.1, with the overall market share jumping to .21%.  This is seen as a good jump for Apple, but they still have a bit of work to do if they want to further increase that. 

According to Net Apps, the Safari browser is blowing up on the Windows platform… to the tune of three times its last month of total of market share.  No doubt in large part due to (un)equal parts coming out of beta, the great reviews and Apple’s somewhat questionable strategy of slipping the application into the iTunes software update...When you are playing on Microsoft’s field, you have to play by Microsoft’s rules....or when in Rome?- Seth Weintraub for 9 to 5 Mac

Hopefully this will also help Safari in their overall market share, as they trailFirefox by more then 10%.

What browser do you prefer?  Any complaints about a specific one?  Sound off below.
