Google Chrome gains popularity...

Google's Chrome's growing popularity appears to be eroding support for Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.

In January, according to NetApplications, Google Chrome's global market share reached 5.2%, a gain of 0.57 percentage points from the previous month.

Microsoft Internet Explorer saw its global market share drop to 62.18%, a decline of 0.51 percentage points in January. Mozilla Firefox slipped to 24.41%, a decline of 0.2 percentage points.

Apple's Safari browser gained 0.05 percentage points to reach 4.51% market share in January, having fallen behind Chrome for the first time last month.

Chrome's gains in part reflect the power of advertising on the Google Search page. Google continues to run an ad on its Search page urging users of Internet Explorer to try Chrome. Firefox users are not presented with Chrome ads. (from www.informationweek.com)
