The latest and greatest browser market share stats are out from Net Applications. On the surface, it seems there was very little change from last month among desktop browsers, but digging a little deeper yields some interesting perspective.

Before we dive in, though, I want to point out a significant change this month in the way Net Applications is reporting the numbers. The site has a new structure that separates mobile/tablet numbers from the desktop figures for browsers, as well as for operating systems and search engine usage. Being the first month of breaking things out this way, it makes it a little trickier to compare month over month data, but it is much more valuable to be able to view the mobile browser figures separate from the desktop.
