Google Chrome Overtakes Internet Explorer

A recent report from StatCounter has shown that Google's Chrome is now the most popular Web browser worldwide, surpassing Microsoft's Internet Explorer for the first time. After years of slowly chipping away Internet Explorer's market share, Chrome took the lead with 32.76 percent share, while IE dipped to 31.94 percent.

While Chrome is leading the browser market worldwide, in the U.S. it still has a lot of catching up to do. Microsoft's Internet Explorer still has a wide lead at home with 37 percent, with Chrome a distant second at 23 percent, closely followed by Mozilla Firefox 22 percent.

StatCounter figures are generally reliable, as they are based on data collected from some 15 billion page views around the world. However, these stats can wildly differ from one provider to another.

"It is really difficult to determine exactly what browser someone is using on a regular basis, especially as many people have multiple browsers," Rob Enterle, principal analyst of the Enterle Group, said in a statement. "But whoever controls the browser controls the platform on which search is conducted. That is in itself a statement of power."
