First, the data shows that Google’s Chrome browser has managed to snatch usage share from Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Here’s the data:
Chrome: 5.20% (up from 4.64% in Dec ‘09)
IE: 62.18% (down from 62.69% in Dec ‘09)
Firefox: 24.41% (down from 24.61% in Dec ‘09)
Note: While we may debate as to whether Net Applications is a reliable metric or not, Mozilla both accept and use its data in its PR propaganda.
Note that this is the second month in a row that Net Applications has shown a decline in Firefox usage.
I noticed over the holiday period that Google was aggressively pushing Chrome through ads, even going as far as to offer customized downloads that could be sent as gifts via email.
The top browser spot has also changed hands, now belonging to IE8, with 22.31%, beating IE6 (20.07%). Still far too many people browsing the web with IE6 … UPGRADE PEOPLE!!!!!
