Browser Wars: Chromeis the Only Browser withGrowth

The world of browsers has
changed over the past few
years. If you notice, most new
features and updates are about
Chrome in the blogging world.
Firefox and Internet Explorer do
get covered but a lot less.
This has been reflected in the
growth of Chrome, along with
the decline of Internet Explorer.
Firefox seems to be stagnating
and even declining a bit in the
past six months.
Last year Internet Explorer was
at 51% and has steadily declined
to 42% by the end of July 2011.
In the same time-frame, Firefox
which was at 31% has also
declined to somewhere around
27%. Chrome which was at 10%
is now sitting at an impressive
22%.
This mean Chrome is the only
browser which is actually
growing.
Why is Chrome so successful?
Unlike Firefox and IE, which treat
their browsers versions as
reinvented new software
released once a year, Google
treats Chrome like ‘work in
progress’. Small updates are
made periodically every few
weeks.
Chrome also has continuity for
its users because of small but
many updates. When people
upgraded to Firefox 4, there was
a big change from the UI of the
browser to other features. The
same could be said about
Internet Explorer 9.
At the moment it seems like
Chrome will soon become the
most used browser, unless IE or
Firefox comes up with
something really different.
