Global Web Browser Usage Statistics 2011

Year 2011 has witnessed many dramatic twist and turns in the internet usage and applications. One of the major shift observed is in the web browser users migration.

I still remember, there was time when more than 90% of the internet users were Internet Explorer users!.  But time has changed, as per the website statistics service provider statcounter.com, there occurred an erosion in user base of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Resulting in remarkable increase in the user base of Google chrome web browser. The graph below trying to put the usage statistics in percentage figures.

The above statistic shows that user base of Google Chrome has almost doubled in last one year!. But the Safari and Opera didn’t suffer much from the Google Chrome effect.
