Far fewer security issues affect Google Chrome. It’s a constant concern when using Internet Explorer. Too often, users find that Microsoft’s browser suffers from some flaws that can put their data and personal information at risk. If any company can overcome Microsoft’s Web efforts, it’s Google.Ī major concern with Internet Explorer is its security. It is also the company that controls Web advertising. Google is the same company that walked into a search market and revolutionized it. But it’s Google that’s gaining ground on Microsoft. If any other company with just 5 percent market share was gaining some ground on Internet Explorer, I wouldn’t waste my time talking about it. And that hurts those browsers’ chances of beating Microsoft. The average Web user might not know Opera, Safari or even Firefox. People know and trust Google’s Chrome browser. Now that users have the option of picking the browser they want to use, it’s highly unlikely that the average user will pick any other browser besides Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. The European Union’s ruling on browser choices can’t be discounted. Chrome simply has the best chance of beating Internet Explorer. And although the company has a long way to go before it can get close to Microsoft, that growth could accelerate further into 2010. As mentioned, Google’s browser share continues to grow as the rest of the market declines. That leading browser might just be Google’s Chrome. Although the program just started, that ruling could have a profound effect on which browser will lead the way going forward. But as NetApplications reported, Microsoft’s 61 percent is a record low for the company as its market share continues to decline.Ī key reason for that is the European Union’s recent enforcement of a rule that requires Microsoft to give European Windows owners the opportunity to choose between several browsers upon boot-up, rather than require them to use Internet Explorer out of the box. Meanwhile, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer still reigns supreme with a whopping 61 percent market share, easily besting Mozilla’s 24 percent and Google’s 5 percent shares.Ĭomparing those figures might portend a daunting battle for Google and Mozilla as they attempt to compete with Internet Explorer. Firefox’s loss of 0.2 percent marks the third straight month where the venerable browser has lost share at the hands of Google’s Chrome browser, which enjoyed a 0.4 percent growth on the month. A recent report from Web analytics firm NetApplications has found that Mozilla’s Firefox browser has once again lost ground in the browser space.
