nsane.forums Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 New data from StatCounter suggests that the massive user growth for Google's Chrome browser has now reach a plateau while Microsoft's Internet Explorer fall has slowed. Earlier this week, Google announced that its Chrome web browser for PCs now has 310 million users worldwide, up from 160 million users from a year ago. In May, StatCounter claimed, according to their data, Chrome was now the most used web browser on PCs worldwide, overtaking Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Microsoft has previously discounted StatCounter's data as not being as accurate as Net Applications, which the company has referred to in the past when it offered up its own IE market share stats. Now, StatCounter's latest data for the month of June shows that the battle between Chrome and IE may have reached a stalemate of sorts. According to their information on web browser market share for June 2012, Chrome is now used by 32.76 percent of PC users worldwide. However, that number is just barely above May 2012's number of 32.43 percent. In the past several months, Chrome has seen its portion of the browser market share jump by one or more percent per month, on average. By the same token, StatCounter shows that IE's total market share was 32.31 percent for June 2012, a tiny drop compared to 32.12 in May 2012. IE has seen its share of the browser market drop by one or more percentage points per month for the last several months. Of course, this could just be a one month aberration. We should also point out that Microsoft's preferred statistics source, Net Applications, still shows the combined versions of IE as the most used web browser platform worldwide with 54.02 percent, with Chrome in third place with 19.08 percent (Mozilla's Firefox is second with 20.06 percent, according to Net Applications). The statistical deviation of data in this format produces a result that resembles a tie for these two products. View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ck_kent Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 A lot of people I know switched to Chrome only because they were told that they will have faster browsing experience or some just follow the trend. Honestly, aside from the fact that Chrome starts-up faster than Firefox, the difference is negligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted July 2, 2012 Administrator Share Posted July 2, 2012 Don't forget the ads, Chrome does marketing and reaches out to people. Though geeks have their choice, n00bs just need the Google brand name to make it their default browser.Can't understand what ate Firefox's 1% though. :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted July 3, 2012 Administrator Share Posted July 3, 2012 Honestly speaking, Chrome would probably be better on a dual core or a quad core processor than Firefox. Why? Because Firefox (or for any other browser if I'm correct) doesn't use more than one core, that's right, browsers aren't optimized for multiple cores.So why would Chrome fare better? Because of multiple processes. Each process uses a different core, so essentially, less load on each core and slightly faster loading.Just explaining what I believe is correct.
