Google Chrome overtakes Firefox in the UK!

Post by vallorn » 01 Aug 2011, 05:02

new figures have pointed to Chrome having a 22% market share in internet browsers making it the second biggest browser in the UK. this meteoric rise has left its main competitors FireFox (21%) and Internet Explorer (45%) with substantially reduced market shares.

it has also become the worlds 3rd biggest browser.

Internet Explorer's market share continues to drop even though it is pre installed on almost every computer sold in the UK and most of the western world.

I think now in new computers (at least the ones I've seen), a popup appears when you first log in asking you to choose which browser you'd like to use.

Not sure if that happens with all of them though.

I mean, it is the best browser out today.

Fun fact, the majority of users who access this site use Google Chrome.

I'll be honest, Firefox is a bad habit to me.

If thats the case, you're doing it wrong.

And no, Android is a completely different browser.

I dislike change. It took a system crash and the deletion of all my bookmarks to get me to switch from IE to Firefox. It'd probably take a similar catalyst to get me to switch to anything new. (I did try Chrome for a while though)
To be honest it doesn't matter much. They're all web browsers, they all perform the same basic functions. Any speed differences are negligible in my experience. It mostly comes down to what you're most familiar/comfortable with.

This is shocking news... as Google Chrome still sucks. I'll be sticking with Firefox 3.6.18 for a very, very, long time. =D I don't like the way Chrome looks and when compared to Firefox, it has crap for addons.
I'm not running away; I'm advancing in reverse.
