Chrome continues to grow

A market share that has doubled in one year to reach 10%: the Google browser, Chrome, has grown steadily in 2010, according to year-end figures released by the consulting firm NetApplications. The growth was mainly made of Chrome at the expense of Microsoft's Internet Explorer - which is clearly number one sector but has lost 4% market share in one year - but also Firefox, down 2% the same period.

The percentage of Firefox users seem to have stabilized at the end of the year, to about 22%, while Internet Explorer has experienced a dip in December to 1.5%. At year end, Google has launched a new major advertising campaign for its browser in many countries. Other browsers, Safari is Apple which takes the best out of the game, from 4.5% to 5.9% in one year.
