Net Applications, a provider of Web-based applications that measure, monitor and market Web sites for Small to Medium Enterprises, announced its monthly Web site browser usage statistics for January 2006. In a striking turn of events, January 2006 browser usage market share numbers reported by HitsLink showed IE halting, at least temporarily, its gradual slide during 2005. As a matter of fact, <A HREF="http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/2/prweb343119.htm">IE regained some of its lost share,</A> going from 85.05% in December 2005 to 85.31% in January 2006. Amazingly, the small gain came at the expense of each of the other major browsers. Even Firefox and Apple Safari had small dips in their usage percentage.
