Despite lacking a lot of facilities, it seems like users with minimum requirements of their browser — who are obviously larger in number — preferred the simplicity, stability and speed of Google Chrome. Users’ love made Google Chrome third most popular web browser around the world beating the Apple’s browser, Safari.
British News Media Telegraph.co.uk reported that Google Chrome is now the third most popular web browser around the web. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer is still at the first place in popularity queue followed by Mozilla Firefox. According to data collected in last year on December, Chrome has been used by 4.63 percent of total internet surfers while Apple’s Safari was used by a percentage of 4.46.
The statistics also showed that Internet Explorer was used by nearly two-third of all internet users having a percentage of 62.69 while the second most popular had 24.61 percent users worldwide. The data was collected by online services firm Net Applications.
The Telegraph says that winning the third place in browser battle is an important milestone for Google; not because it has become third most popular, but its win against Apple. However, it was not easy at all for Google to conquer this place. It had started advertising of Google Chrome almost everywhere on the internet. In Britain, Google got the major billboards across the roads for the purpose of advertising Google Chrome. It had an active campaign with Google Chrome across the Europe.
Today, users who just need to surf the websites are more likely to use Google Chrome because of its wide area of browsing and its simplicity, speed, and stability that makes it lighter than any other web browser out there.
