Microsoft's troubles seems to be multiplying with its browsers failing to hold any water, and more dire, Internet Explorer (IE) and Edge hit a record low in Net Applications' tracking of browser data for July, 2018.

While Net Applications detect the agent strings of the browsers used to visit websites under its watch to calculate the user share, which visit sessions it tallies with multiple daily returns, against competing services, which measures only total page views.

In the report, Mozilla's Firefox shed off a smaller percentage point of two-tenths, finishing at 9.7% user share. Albeit, Firefox's score is perhaps the smallest user share since February 2006, when IE still holds sway.

Mozilla's browser post of a number under the 10% bar makes it the third consecutive month in 2018, but the open-source browser appears to be akin to the proverbial cat with nine lives, haven survived a near-fatal experience recently to bounce back to some good degree.

And given the recent trends, IE and Edge may likely lose another 31% in the coming year, which will leave the Microsoft browsers at just 10.6% of the worldwide browser user share at this period in 2019.

Firefox, on the other hand, drops by 21% and finish at 7.6% in the same period. But IE and Edge will fall faster than Mozilla's browser according to this prevailing forecast.

By this forecast, Edge dwindling fortune seems rather irredeemable, even as Microsoft appears to be pushing it with the Windows 10 updates, the browser has remained a big flop.

Apple's Safari hits a third straight low this month, ending at 3.5%, which is the lowest score since April 2017 and Safari's share of Mac systems also dropped to 38.3% in July, 2018.

Google's Chrome remains the leading browser, recording nearly 4 percentage points rise to its share in July alone, finishing at 64.7% and the last time a browser managed to corner that huge margin of the worldwide browser share was in 2009, with IE accounting for two-thirds of the then total share.
