A near-final version of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8 was made available for download today. The free browser is only available for users of Windows Vista, Windows Server and Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed. Microsoft has been steadily improving Internet Explorer 8 which has been in development for a few years with Beta 1 and 2 versions of the browser being released in March and August last year respectively.
Although still the most dominant web browser Internet Explorer has seen it’s market share slowly being chipped away by Mozilla Foundation’s Firefox web browser and with Google’s recent and swift entry into the market with Chrome.
Alexa.com is a well known web traffic statistics website. It tracks websites visited by persons who have opted to install an Alexa toolbar in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or Sparky plugin in Mozilla’s Firefox. Alexa’s ranking has been criticized over the years for being unreliable but many website owners and advertisers still use it as a measuring stick to rank the popularity of a website.
For many years Yahoo.com was the most trafficked website in the world according to Alexa but recently Yahoo.com has been overtaken my Google.com as the most trafficked website in the world at least for web users with the Alexa toolbar or sparky plugin installed.
