Data tracking firm Statcounter have released information which show a huge rise in adoption for Google's Chrome browser. Usage share has increased by eight percent since the start of the year, to a claimed 23.16 percent marketshare.
With the expansion of Chrome, the figures show a decline for Firefox, dropping 4 percent since the start of the year, to 27.39 percent. Concerns are also being raised for the leading Microsoft browser Internet Explorer, which has also lost a four percent share of the pie. It still however holds a 41.89 claim to the browser throne.
Obviously a high percentage of Microsoft's market share figures are due to the ‘default' installation with Windows operating systems, however it would appear that a wider audience are finally waking up to the alternatives available.
While other analysis tools show different market share figures for the leading browsers, they all confirm that Chrome is on route to dispose of Firefox to claim second position, perhaps even by as soon as Q1/Q2 2012.
Kitguru says: Firefox or Chrome, which is better?
Chrome is getting better all the time, no doubt about it.
Chrome is ok if you are thick. Google kill me. They make no features into a feature. What you cannot see in this report is which devices are moving. It won’t be proper systems just some bullshit products I bet!
well I guess must of this rise in share is due to Android devices
by the way I wonder why for me Chrome is not as light as firefox
on system resources specially cpu usage .
Personally, I like Google Chrome the best. I also like Opera. I never really have liked FireFox that much as it was always a memory hog when the UI was decent. Now that that has changed I don’t really see a point.
