NetMarketShare has released market usage share data for browsers for July and it shows some increase for Internet Explorer and some loss for Mozilla’s FireFox and Google’s Chrome.

Microsoft is quite happy with these results:

Last month, we saw coverage about Internet Explorer posting a worldwide gain in usage share. That encouraging news continues today with Net Applications’ release of their July usage share numbers. Net Applications reports overall Internet Explorer share grew 0.42% worldwide in July, while Firefox lost 0.90% share and Chrome dipped 0.08% in share. Most interesting is the fact that Internet Explorer 8 continues to be the fastest growing browser with a 0.98% increase worldwide in July – and now represents more than 30% of browser usage worldwide. In the US, Internet Explorer 8 picked up share for the third month in a row.

Not much of an increase but it does indicate Microsoft’s comeback in the browser market. They are still 5% away from getting to what it was in 2009.
