Browser Usage Stats: Chrome Grows While IE and Firefox Shrink	Permalink

An analytics company called Net Applications has determined that Google’s Chrome web browser is stealing market share from both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. In January, ChromeChromeChrome grew by 0.57% to 5.20% of the browser market. Meanwhile, FirefoxFirefoxFirefox shrunk by 0.20% to 24.41% and IE shrunk 0.51% to 62.18%. Safari and Opera both stayed put, more or less; SafariSafariSafari grew 0.05% to 4.51% and OperaOperaOpera shrunk 0.02% to 2.38%. You might recall that Chrome passed Safari to grab third place in the browser market a month ago; it seems probable that the ground Chrome is gaining is at Microsoft and Mozilla’s expense, although no direct causation has been definitively established by Net Applications’ numbers.

One thing I can pass-on that could account for some increase in Chrome usage, it is included in the Avast 5 (free) download. Alan __________________ Where's the money, Lebowski?
