2 Comments » Share

We already knew that people’s love for Google Chrome is just going to grow and that is been proved with the latest market share numbers. Chrome has been on a rise since its inception over a year ago and it took a high jump last month with beta launch for Window, Mac and Linux and extensions gallery. And now Google Chrome is the third most popular web browser across the world just behind Internet Explorer and Firefox, however surpassing Safari was no less than achievement for Google.

According to numbers by Net Applications for December – Google Chrome owns 4.63 percent of the browser market, which is ahead of Safari’s 4.46 percent. Yet, it’s far behind Firefox that carries a significant 24.61 percent market share, while Internet Explorer owns huge 62.29 percent. It’s of course a big milestone for Chrome though, as the browser market has been hard to crack.

On the other hand theappleblog says –

As for alternatives to Internet Explorer in web browsing, that would be Firefox, followed by Chrome, which is now followed by Safari. With the release of the Chrome beta for Windows, Mac, and Linux, it was only a matter of time before Safari was passed by. December makes it official. Chrome is now at 4.63 percent of browser share, followed by Safari at 4.46 percent. Safari appears to have plateaued at around 4.5 percent of total share. Of course, with Apple it’s never been about market share for any product. The company’s business model has always been predicated upon selling a unique experience at a profit…considerable profit.

So now the question is, will Safari gain it’s position back or will Chrome try to surpass other rival also in 2010? Well, it’s a long way to go for Chrome and let’s hope for the best!
