The map presents a dramatic perspective of the changing fortunes in the desktop browser market.The line graph makes the rise of Google Chrome even clearer over the past five years.
I’d say Chrome has a rosy future as the post-PC era develops – I see the mobile Chrome more and more on Android devices. Early days of course, but Google has patience.

Google’s Chrome browser, which celebrates its fifth birthday next month, has captured much of the territory of older browsers and is now responsible for about 43% of all the web traffic generated by the world’s desktop computers. When Chrome was launched the dominant browser was Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE), with a 68% share—it is now down to just 25% http://econ.st/13KQBzn

I really don’t understand why IE was ever at the top of the chart. I do all of my work in web design (and i have done it for a while so im pretty damn good). Of course all the sites I create run perfectly on every web browser, but chrome is just better and easier and…better hahah!
My son switched this computer to Chrome when I was not looking, so now when my cursor goes over a photo, the picture automatically and instantly gets bigger. For instance, the little illustration 1.25 inches square — too smll to read — jumps to 8.5 inches
