Google Chrome Steals a Share from Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox Usage

Since the release of the browser, Google Chrome has been making headline news for its rapid accelerating growth in the browser market.

First Google Chrome managed to overtake Safari as the third most popular browser and now with data from Net Market Share revealing that Google Chrome is now taking a chunk out of the usage from Internet Explorer and Firefox, the news just keeps on getting better for Chrome.

The Net Applications data showed Google Chrome was up from 4.64% to 5.20% since December whilst Internet Explorer is down from 62.69% (December) to 62.18%. This is also the same case for Firefox which has seen a drop since December from 24.61% to 24.41%.

The top browser spot has also changed from Internet Explorer 6 to Internet Explorer 8. However, this is not surprising news after yesterday we reported that Google have decided to phase out support for Internet Explorer 6, starting first with Google Docs and Google Sites, prompting people on the IE6 browser to upgrade as soon as possible.
