Google Chrome Is Now the Most Popular Web Browser

[froggyboy604]

Microsoft’s Internet Explorer has long been the most used browser on the internet. But its iron grip began slipping ever since Google launched Chrome in 2008. In 2012, one usage tracker declared Chrome the new champion, but some others still had IE in the lead. Now, all the holdouts are in agreement—Chrome is king.

This past march, Computerworld released a detailed report which concluded that by May 2016, Chrome would be the undisputed champion, and Chrome hit the mark, NetMarketShare, the stat counter that Microsoft has long referenced as the most accurate source for measuring which browser reigns supreme, now says Chrome is the undisputed winner. It controls 41.66 percent of the market whereas Internet Explorer and Microsoft’s new Edge browser collectively have 41.35 percent.

I think all the Google Adsense ads for Chrome advertisements on Google.com, Google Plus, and YouTube, and non-Google sites with ads convince a lot of users to buy a Google Android phone, Chromebook, and download and install Chrome onto Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and other operating systems.

I bet, most people who use Mac is either using Chrome or Firefox because Apple Safari browser is not as popular, and has fewer add-ons and themes.

Linux users are also limited to Firefox and Chrome because other web browsers like Webs, Opera, Vivaldi, etc don't have as many extensions, add-ons, themes, and plug-ins as Firefox and Chrome.

Too bad it has so many privacy issues floating around about it.

And it should be the top browser. Regardless of the privacy implications it's probably the fastest and due to it's sandboxing strategies the most secure browser out there. That being said Mozilla Firefox is the second best and wins for privacy.

Too bad it has so many privacy issues floating around about it.

There are web browsers like Slimjet which is similar to Chrome, but is based on the free open sourced Chromium's Blink web browser tech. Slimjet claims to be more private than Chrome. But, it shares a lot of the same tech in Chrome, so there may still be some privacy issues in Slimjet and other Google Chromium Blink based web browsers.

The thing is I kinda expected this. I mean it's obvious how people like that keyword Google a lot.
I never expected to see it become this popular but what can I say....people like it.
