Actually, you could be right. Windows 7 is taking off like crazy.

None of the browsers are perfect. People talk about Chrome like it’s some kind of God but to be honest I’ve had as much trouble with it as I’ve had with IE and Firefox. In fact even more. It will periodically refuse to load pages that I can immediately load in another browser, and it sometimes forgets my user names and passwords. There are also design aspects that are less than ideal, like when you multiple sign into another Gmail account, it prefills the user name box with one of your user names (not always the one you wanted), meaning you have to physically delete it. In Firefox, the box is left blank and you click in it to bring up a list of your user names – far easier. Also, it doesn’t remember the position you were on a page when you navigate back to it, nor does it remember scrolling positions on long lists of bookmarks. Like many Google products the design in some areas lacks thought. I use Firefox and Chrome about equally and have my bookmarks synced between the two.

I love both Firefox and Chrome, so there’s pretty much no contest for me. IE is still crap though lolol

It’s not surprising at all that IE is still hovering at 40%. In the workplace, the most common OS is windows and a lot of companies do not allow their employees to have administration priviledges on their laptops and/or desktops thus people are forced to use IE all the time.

Never had any problems with google chrome or Firefox but the one that really sux is IE but the only reason the computers have it is because it comes with it oh and I’m glad to say that google chrome is the fastest browser I’ve ever Firefox is not that fast but great for downloads and we’ll we all know IE sux

I’m sure that StatCounter is paid big time to come out with a survey result to put IE on top… it is common knowledge that more than 50% of people living in third world countries who have computers uses pirated Windows OS’s, for it is common sense for them to spend a mere $2.00 on a pirated OS than spend more than a $100 on an original OS… for that reason alone not one of these people would dare open the Windows Internet Explorer, Google Chrome I would say will be the bet to be the no. 1 web browser today…

the one and only reason is because IE is the default browser on a new PC and most people are too dumb to realise that they can go download something better, like Firefox lol

IE9 is the reason its still hovering above the rest, and most professional industries wont adopt Chrome for a while. My work place still uses Firefox although i would love for them to upgrade to Chrome. Google business model of simpler is better has worked well for it, other browsers should take notes.

I enjoy chrome for numerous convenience reasons, firefox has become the new netscape or internet explorer, the only thing I do not like about chrome so far is 1, they do not allow you to right click set image as desktop option…2, I keep dealing with crashes from flash via their SP.

MMMM am pretty sure Firefox is on spot No1 perhaps this just means that the websites that use Stat counter are more popular with IE users, but not a real good sample of the entire web !

Kind of surprised myself too. Perhaps increased adoption of Windows 7?

Wow, looks like IE is starting to increase their market share after steady declines for a while. I am still also impressed that IE is hovering around 50% of the users out there still.
