Safari continued its slow upward climb as the number three Web browser for March, and Firefox hit a new milestone as it climbed up over ten percent. Safari's increase in browser market share was small, moving up to 3.19 percent from 3.13 percent. The Increase from Firefox was more noticeable as it moved up to 10.05 percent from February's 9.75 percent.

Statistics from Market Share show Microsoft's Internet Explorer continuing its year-long decline, dropping from 85.03 percent of the browser market in February down to 84.7 percent in March. Microsoft's Web browser is still the undisputed market share leader, but Safari holds the distinction of being the only single-platform browser with any significant piece of the browser market.
