Question

Why Is IE7 Gaining In Popularity?

Jul 21, 2016 9:42AM PDT

According to Net Market Share, while all other versions of Internet Explorer appear to be losing ground (IE6, IE8, IE9, IE10, and IE11), IE7 shows a general upward trend.

It doesn't make sense to me because it's an older browser. I was wondering if anyone had any theories to help explain this trend.

It only shows the errors in their measurement.

" If we scrub our web logs, looking for the "Trident/N" version string instead, we show 0.2% IE7 users. Google still has not fixed this "

This means that your link is to a site that should be blasted for getting it wrong.
