      That seems like an error to me... There's no way it stayed at exactly the same percentage the whole time. Maybe the video creator accidentally forgot to update the percentage for mosaic after a certain point. Even if it had a dedicated user base that didn't wanna give it up, there's more and more people using the internet every day. In order for it to keep the same percentage (even if small) it would have to have a growing audience, which I somehow doubt is the case.

    I'm surprised Firefox never took the lead. About ten years ago, it really felt like almost everyone was using Firefox. When I switched to an iMac from an XP machine around that time, I begrudgingly had to give up IE8 since it wasn't available for OS X. However, I was pleased as punch to find out that there was an add-on for Firefox that changed its appearance to be identical to IE8 (as well as bringing in all the features that were completely unique to IE8). After seeing such customizability, I was sold on Firefox for quite awhile after that. Newer versions of Firefox, sadly, feel a little dumbed down.

    I want to show this to my uni’s IT Dept who insists on using IE for our portal site even after IE has stopped support for some the things we need it for. They just keep finding work arounds which drives me nuts. I now have to use IE to access half of the things, Chrome for certain surveys, but their guides tell me how to use it with Edge. Smh.
