Google's navigation system, Chrome, is now the second most used in the world, behind the old and increasingly obsolete Microsoft's Internet Explorer, which from January 2010 to October this year went from nearly 60% to 40% of the market.
Google Chrome instead rose to 25,7 (a real boom, starting from 5% in January 2010): therefore one navigator out of four now uses it, ousting the consolidated Mozilla from second place, practically stationary but slightly down from 30 to 25%. Practically, by now half of Internet users use Chrome or Mozilla, with a slight preference for the former.
To reveal it are the data published by StatCounter, which underlines how Chrome's growth rate will soon lead it to be the world number one.
Meanwhile, it consolidates share of Safari (above all among Mac owners), with about 6%, while the Opera system, which has been stuck at 2% for the past two years, has not been able to emerge from anonymity.
In Europe, however, Mozilla Firefox remains firmly in second place, with almost 30% of users in August, while Google is still growing at 17%.
