Browser stats, Firefox steady...

The trends for browser usage have changed very little since March. IE is still losing ground to Firefox, though its lead is still unmistakable; Safari is not threatening any of its competitors, nor is it being threatened from below; Chrome is happily carving out a small niche for itself; and poor Opera can't seem to budge from fifth place. In April, Firefox and Chrome were the only browsers to show any positive growth; IE, Safari, and Opera all fell.

Here are the numbers:

Internet Explorer dropped a significant 0.72 percentage points (from 66.82 percent to 66.10 percent)

Firefox jumped 0.43 percentage points (from 22.05 percent to 22.48 percent)

Safari dropped a minor 0.02 percentage points (from 8.23 percent to 8.21 percent)

Chrome once again moved further away from Opera: it gained 0.19 percentage points (from 1.23 percent to 1.42 percent)

Opera dropped from 0.70 percent to 0.68 percent.
