NetApplications has just released its browser market share stats for the month of April, and there is something notable here: Internet Explorer has fallen to a “historic low” of 59.95 percent market share, losing about 0.69 points since last month. Google’s Chrome continues its assault on Safari, reaching a 6.73 percent share (while Safari nabbed 4.72). Of course, Internet Explorer is still so far ahead of the rest of the pack it’s hard to make these losses — however significiant — into a tragedy of epic proportions story for Microsoft, so we’re not going to do that. Keep in mind, as well, that NetApplications is not the only measurement of market share — and StatCounter, by comparison, currently estimates IE’s share at about 51.42 percent.
