Chrome Snatches IE’s Browser Crown

While Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) remains the search engine champion, it is also now apparently the top dog with the Web browsers where searches take place. Google’s Chrome is now the most popular Web browser, having overtaken Microsoft’s (Nasdaq: MSFT) Internet Explorer worldwide, according to the latest figures from StatCounter.
Chrome took the lead with 32.76 percent of the market compared to IE’s 31.94 percent, and while this is not the first time Chrome has surpassed IE — it happened in March for a single day — this new estimate is for an entire week. But does it actually mean anything?
