Chrome Becoming World's Second Most Popular Web Browser
redletterdave writes with news that Google Chrome is in the process of surpassing Firefox to become the second most popular web browser. Pinpointing the exact time of the change is difficult, of course, since different analytics firms collect slightly different data. The current crop of media reports were triggered by data from StatCounter, which shows Chrome at 25.69% and Firefox at 25.23% for November. Data from Net Applications shows Firefox still holding a 4% lead, but the trends suggest it will evaporate within a few months.

Tic-Tac-Toe, Global Thermonuclear War, and relationships all have the same winning move.
The worst thing is that it took me a few seconds to realize you weren't joking.

Yeah, sure, if you want to use an obsolete version, go ahead, Consumer McSheep. All the cool development work is now being done on version 15... uh, I'm sorry, while I was typing, attention shifted to 17. Ooh, shiny.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
Hey, it's perfectly okay because it's not Microsoft that's doing it but Google.
I heard that V12 is so fast that it is due this week - even before V11.
They must be using neutrinos.
All the world's a CPU, and all the men and women merely AI agents
Watching two people go back and forth about the bloat of Firefox versus IE is like watching two morbidly obese people argue about who's fatter.
A true testimony to the power of Angry Birds...
