Google's Chrome has overtaken Microsoft's
Internet Explorer as the most widely used web browser in the world, according to
statistics released yesterday.
Data from web analytics service StatCounter
showed that for the week of May 14-20 Chrome has averaged a higher share of web
traffic for a full seven-day stretch.
The development will be welcome news for web
designers, who have long struggled with the Microsoft browser's patchy
implementation of new web coding standards.

The change in web browsing habits represents a remarkable decline for Internet Explorer, which four years ago boasted a market share of nearly 70 per cent.
While it is not the first time that Chrome has overtaken IE, it is the first time that Google's browser has held its position for an entire week - though still by less than a percentage point.

Hallelujah! I can't wait for IE to drop to 1%, then the life of web developers would be made much easier.
