Google Chrome Gains Market Share in February, While Other Browsers Lose
Bertrand Vasquez | Mar 01, 2010 | Comments 1
According to web metrics firm NetMarketShare, Google Chrome was the only browser that gained additional market share in the month of February. The data suggests that the Google Chrome usage went up from 5.20% in the month of January to 5.61% in February, that means a 0.41% growth in just one month. All the other browsers saw a decline in market share in the same month.
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer lost 0.6% of its share, from 62.18% in January to 61.58% last month. Firefox, on the other hand, saw a 0.18% decrease from 24.41% to 24.23%. Safari shrunk 0.06% last month, from 4.51% to 4.45%. Lastly, Opera went down 0.03%, from 2.38% in January to 2.35% in February.
It appears like Google efforts to improve Chrome are really paying off, while most of the most popular browsers have lost a good percentage of their share.
Let us know if you have switched browsers lately.

I switched from firefox and couldn’t be happier.
I’m not even sure what it is.
Easy to use/get used to, transfers your bookmarks etc.
Just good.
