Its particularly useful for web developers to know which browsers are going out of use, so they can stop support for them and reduce their own workload. But how can you get such stats? Well here are 3 sources.

Global Market Share Statistics (from HitsLink)

The most comprehensive and widely used global stat site, Hitslink provides data not only about the browsers, but also about OS, resolutions, IP, search engine and even mobile stats. You can access their ever-comprehensive browser stats from here.

Global Stats (from Statcounter)

Statcounter, the ever-reliable stat plugin for websites, also has a global stats site that provides information about browsers, browser version, mobile browser and OS, search engine (desktop and mobile) as well as a desktop vs. mobile stat.

You can access the browser stats from here.

Historical Browser Statistics (from AXIIS)

Although this is not exactly a browser stat site, it gives a fun way of viewing the browser share market’s history. Data from January 2002 to August 2009 can be viewed over here.

You can access this page from here.

Now, why would you want to disable IE? Well if, like most of the people out there, you are using a third-party browser like FireFox or Chrome, there is no need of IE, and you might as well uninstall it. Find out how you can disable IE in Windows 7.

Follow these tips to quickly remove IE from Windows 7:

  1. Go to Start, and then click on Control Panel

    2. Select Control Panel from Start

  2. Click on System and Security

    3. Click on system and security

  3. From the left pane, click on Programs

    4. Click on programs

  4. Now in the main menu click on Turn Windows features on or off

    5. Click on Turn Windows features on or off

  5. In the new windows that opens, uncheck Internet Explorer (usually on the third line)

    6. Uncheck Internet Explorer

  6. Now click on OK. A warning will be displayed, just click on Yes. You may be asked to reboot your system. Just do it, and now you have IE uninstalled from your Windows 7 system!

    7. Windows-features3

An alternative method is to open Start Menu (by clicking on the Start icon in the bottom-left of your screen), and search for Turn Windows features on or off. Click on the very first optin/result and follow from step 5 above.

Easy wasn’t it!
