Google Chrome Overtakes Mozilla Firefox in Browser Market-share: StatCounter
According to the latest data sourced by StatCounter for the month of November 2011, Google Chrome has overtaken Mozilla Firefox in terms of web-browser software market-share. The GlobalStats data provides a worldwide picture, and not just specific to a region. According to the data, Chrome took 25.69% of the worldwide market (up from 4.66% in November 2009) compared to Firefox's 25.23%.
Microsoft's Internet Explorer still maintains a strong lead globally with 40.63%. Google Chrome began in mid-2008 as an experimental minimalist UI web-browser based on the Chromium project, it is a multi-process tabbed web browser based on Apple Webkit and several other pieces of free, licensed, and open-source technologies. Its market share is on the rise. The stats can be accessed here.

I'm so tired of the Plugin Container crash that requires a reboot to fix that I simply quit using FireFox...and then when it seems they got it all fixed out comes another update to screw it all up again...
i use opera and never faced a problem.
also this thread needs this
The scrolling is so much smoother with IE compared to Chrome. I read a lot on the internet so smooth scrolling is very important to me. It was the look of Chrome that got me using it.
I personally use Chrome, but I setup my clients' PC with IE9 for compatibility, and so far everyone is happy with it.
I use IE9 time to time and it's actually as fast as Chrome (sometime even faster). I haven't seen any crashes either.
Firefox... the more plugins you have the more "lag" you get just like rubberband in BF3.
I guess everything is fast on a fast pc then :D.
My internet is slower than low end DSL on a good day
Seriously guys it's not hard to figure this stuff out.
Oh and to the guy who said he just reloads his 100+ tabs when mozilla crashes, no need for that in chrome. Each tab is a seperate process, so if something crashes, all is not lost. Secondly, chrome has its own task manager to end said process(es). Apparently IE runs seperate processes, but uhh.. it's still IE.
Not 100% sure about mozilla but chrome also has this 'create application shortcuts' tool which I use. Basically it makes the page you are viewing an app via a shortcut on your desktop. This is good for, say, checking your bank account online with a simple double click, rather than going into your browser and clicking bookmarks.
So that's just a few things that I use anyway..
