Chrome poised to take No. 2 browser spot from Firefox
Found on Computerworld on Thursday, 29 September 2011
As of Wednesday, Chrome's global average user share for September was 23.6%, while Firefox's stood at 26.8%. IE, meanwhile, was at 41.7%.
The climb of Chrome during 2011 has been astonishing: It has gained eight percentage point since January 2011, representing a 50% increase.
During that same period, Firefox has dropped almost four percentage points, a decline of about 13%, while IE has also fallen four points, a 9% dip.
Maybe users aren't happy with that fast release cycle which keeps breaking addons. The same addons that made Firefox what it is.
