Google Chrome will Overtake Internet Explorer in 2012: StatCounter
After overtaking Mozilla Firefox in terms of web-browser market-share in December 2011, Google Chrome has its eyes trained on Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE), still the most popular web-browser in use today. According to the most recent StatCounter figures, at the rate at which Google Chrome's market-share is growing, it will overtake that of MSIE in 2012. It will do that as early as in June-July. Interestingly, Google Chrome is the youngest web-browser among its competitors, launched in Q4 2008, but has surpassed the market shares of much older competitors in a matter of months. Apart from stats, Google's web-advertising prowess makes Chrome's MSIE overtake in June-July seem realistic.

Bah..WTF..FF sucks and crashes all the time and IE isn't easily customized maybe I'll just give it a go.
Also the marketing and banners out there can play a good role, but if people keep using it, then that means something :)
I think IE9 improved a lot comparing to the previous IE browsers, Firefox is fast in terms of drawing and scrolling but Javascript animations are noticeably slower, Opera is very fast but Chrome surpassed it here.
I have all those browsers (IE9, Opera, Firefox, Chrome, previously Safari...) installed and testing them lol.
It is fast and doesn't crash so it's my new default browser..
Maybe I will give it a go . :rolleyes:
Neither browser never crashed on my rig.
