I wonder why MSIE has made a comeback in the last two months. a 4% increase is quite a lot.

As a web developer I hope the trend does not continue.

10 (and afaik 11) are good browsers, I can't complain about them. I have yet to fix anything specifically in 10.

yes, and automatic browser updates by default is a great new change as well for IE (unfortunately nothing for people sticking to their XP, though)

MSIE is still lagging far behind in HTML5 standards: http://html5test.com/results/desktop.html

While MSIE may be 'good' browser (tastes may vary, I find the UI horrible) it's damaging to the web ecosystem to have MSIE leading the marketshare. It's advantageous for Microsoft to limit new features and keep interoperability between browsers low. As a result the entire web using public loses out on having new features and having a broader choice.

Chrome and Firefox are built on open source software, so when an issue occurs you can participate in the process of it being fixed.

html5test.com is a test of HTML 5 in the same way that w3schools.com is a school for the w3c. Just take a look at their FAQ http://html5test.com/about.html and you can almost instantly dismiss their scoring system.

Chrome and Firefox are awesome though.
