Internet Browser Usage Statistics 2013

Chrome has passed Internet Explorer as the Internet browser of choice around the world and that had continued through 2013. Firefox is gaining in usage and some points throughout the year was only points away from Internet Explorer.

When the browser wars began many decades ago, it was not believed that any browser would surpass the might and wide-spread use of IE. Google has done a lot to improve their browser and are working equally as hard to gain traction in the desktop OS arena as well.

Should they commit the resources to an OS as they have done to dominate the browser market we could soon be seeing a new leader in desktop OS deployments.

Chrome vs Opera vs Safari : Browser Battle

Google's Chrome was released on several years ago and has managed to gain dramatic share in usage,. Although Google also supported Firefox, it seems it's abandoning Firefox and developing Chrome as the competitor of choice to Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer I believe will not be surpassed by Chrome. I find Chrome to a good browser and I use it daily on almost all of my computers but it does not have support for many of the things I need it for. 
For example, I connect to many networking devices and other appliances used in information technology as part of the infrastructure for managing or containing important information system. 


There are many who like and appreciate the "simple and clean interface" but that's all illusion of what a browser today is used for.  I personally dislike not having a menu-bar and no option to add one either. For average web usage such for browsing for videos, music, shopping or social networking, it works well. It lacks the support from developers to enable it to do as much as Internet explorer can. It's a browser, it's not a viable option in many cases to be a front-end application.
