Which is the best browser; you prefer to use among the several browser we have from Microsoft’s IE, Mozilla’s Firefox, Google’s Chrome, Apple’s Safari or Opera.

Though here it doesn’t matter which browser you use but according to a stats released by the stat counter; Microsoft’s Internet Explorer is still the most used browser. However it is purely because it is bundled with the Windows operating system. But there is the cut throat competition for the 2nd position between the Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browser. So far Mozilla firefox enjoys the 2nd position; but looking at the trends it seems that by the end of the year Google Chrome may surpass the Mozilla Firefox.

According to data provided by StatCounter, Google Chrome is currently in position to rise above Mozilla’s Firefox and become the second most popular Web browser by December 2011. Google’s aggressive advertising for the speedy browser has helped growth over 2011. Starting with 15 percent of the market share in January 2011, Google’s current market share has risen to 23.6 percent as of September 2011. Google’s rapid gain in market share is likely attributed to users defecting from Internet Explorer and Firefox. Microsoft’s user share has dropped from about 46 percent at the start of the year down to 42 percent and Mozilla’s user share has dropped a little over five percent in the same time period.
