Chrome is World's Number One Browser for a Day - StatCounter

In the Netherlands, IE still seems on top: http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-NL-daily-20120219-20120319

@Kreij, probably because it is easier for a company like Google or Microsoft to lock in customers for their paid products if those same customers already use their web browsers and/or other (free) products they are "used" to.

Gave it a shot recently ? Try it, you might be surprised. The implementation of webRequest by the Chromium team has really upgraded its capabilities. I was as reluctant as you, mostly because it didn't block video ads, but now it does away with those too. I have both Fx and Comodo Dragon installed and switch between them regularly and I've never once seen an element blocked by ABP for Fx that doesn't get blocked in Chrome as well. I run Gundlach's Adblock in Dragon and it's great.

Hmm it's been about 5 months since I've checked it out. Thanks for the heads up. I'll give it a shot.

If the browsers block advertisements, and they are free ... why exactly are there browser wars?
(I'm really tired today, forgive me if it's obvious)

Gives a better name to Microsoft, Google, Apple etc? Think about it, you love Google chrome, you are subconsciously going to like google products like Android phone etc better! Also more likely to use Google.com, and they can spy on you more and use the info to make more $$

Internet Explorer, most popular browser downloader since 2004.

For those looking for a good ablock addon for Chrome, try adbock plus. Its made by the same people who make it for Firefox and it works flawlessly for me. Pick the EasyList filter and ur all set.

Now using Waterfox. No more crashing or lags I got on Firefox. Now there is nothing Chrome can do better. Never have liked Chrome, and never will.

That looks interesting. It's essentially an optimized, 64-bit version of Firefox.
