The rise of Google Chrome

This graph from the Economist (Daily Chart - Browse beaten) shows how many Internet Explorer users have migrated to Chrome.


According to another Economist article Chrome rules the web:

Chrome is now responsible for about 43% of all the web traffic generated by the world’s desktop computers. When Chrome was launched the dominant browser was Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE), with a 68% share—it is now down to just 25%.

The penetration of Android on mobile phones and now tablets will surely increase this dominance.
