Internet Explorer needs fresh dev infusion for a full recovery

For years IE was in free fall as Chrome gained market share due to its superior speed, security, and ease of use (including managing extensions). By late 2011, it wasn't surprising that some were writing eulogies for IE as it shed 6 per cent market share in just three months while Chrome soared. In fact, by some estimates, Chrome actually surpassed IE's market share in early 2012.

Since that time, Microsoft has managed to stabilise IE's market share with users, adding back two percentage points since December 2011.
