Chrome Hits 20% Share As IE Continues Slide

jbrodkin writes "Google Chrome's rise in popularity has been remarkably fast and it's just hit a new milestone: more than 20% of all browser usage, according to StatCounter. Chrome rose from only 2.8% in June 2009 to 20.7% worldwide in June 2011, while Microsoft's Internet Explorer fell from 59% to 44% in the same time frame. Firefox dropped only slightly in the past two years, from 30% to 28%. While other browser trackers show Chrome with a lower percentage, there's a reason: StatCounter tracks total surfing, not the number of users. It's the Web's power users who are pushing Chrome to new heights."

Chrome Hits 20% Marketshare (Report) (GOOG, MSFT)

Google Chrome now has 20% marketshare in browsers, according to online analytics firm StatCounter, TheNextWeb reports.

This is pretty staggering. Just two years ago, Chrome was at 2.8%.

The gains came at the expense of both Firefox and Internet Explorer, which is now dipping below 50% marketshare.

This shows a few things:

• Google's got some great engineers. (We already knew that, but worth repeating);

The browser market is actually an opportunity. People think of the browser as boring, utility software, but if tens of millions of people are willing to switch browsers, it means there's room for a newcomer. And there's opportunity for change and evolution. This is why RockMelt, a startup founded by a bunch of former Netscape rockstars, recently raised $30 million.
