Microsoft
seems to have given up the fight in the browser wars. Or is the software giant
holding its fire, finally unleashing its own barrage, until it launches Windows
8?
Whatever
the case might be, Microsoft needs to act fast.
Chrome is fast outgrowing Internet Explorer (and is pushing it out of the browser picture?). |
Recently,
Google's Chrome browser overtook Microsoft's Internet Explorer for the first
time, Web site analytics firm StatCounter said.
Data
released by the company showed that, in May 2012, Chrome accounted for 32.43
percent of the global browser market, slightly ahead of the Internet Explorer's
32.12 percent, and was trailed by Firefox with 25.55 percent.
