Web browser usage in Africa, March 2013

According to pingdom  since 2013 Chrome has taken over the lead in Africa from Firefox. The biggest loser in this region seems to be Internet Explorer that has fallen from 29% to “only” 18%. Firefox has the second highest usage rate in
Africa at 37%, compared to almost 40%  in 2013.


In addition we noted that together with South America, Africa seems to be the only region where Firefox 3.6 is still in the top 10. One explanation  to this could be that 3.6 was the last version of Firefox before Mozilla started its 6-week rapid release schedule.
