Web browser market share stats show Google Chrome’s gradual growth

Chrome has been slowing down for me recently. The mouse stutters when I move it over to Chrome. It's not every time but enough to be noticeable.

Not that the world cares about FireFox and its value to Devs, but this month's release of FireFox 15 is so much faster, beating even IE 9 and Chrome in graphic performance benchmarks.

FireFox always lagged behind IE9 and Chrome with these perfermance tests, but now FF 15 doesnt' even break a sweat!

If ff would introduce one account sync and unified address bar and search I'd be sold to go back.

This.

Cant tell you handy it is. No more having to back up bookmarks, and it is so awesome having the same bookmarks across all my devices.

I totally agree with the unified URL and Search bar. On the sync issue, it already does this built in. I sync between my desktop at home, laptop at work and android phone everywhere.

I use IE because is a default browser on Library Computer.

I never used Chrome. I use Java Opera Mini.

Chrome has seen growth from 17.16% of the market in July, to 17.37% market share in August, edging a little bit closer to Firefox, which sits on 18.21% market share for August.

IE, being the default browser for the Windows platform, still dominates with 48.73%, down 0.74% from July.

I'm confused, just a few months ago it was reported that Chrome had overtaken IE. Now they're back to playing catch-up with Firefox. What gives?

So the leader basically depends on whether the stats come from StatCounter or Net Marketshare

Firefox Sync works perfectly for me. It even syncs my add-ons across, so I don't have to remember which ones I want to install. If supported, of course.

Now now cerbus. Remember, by your own rules, incoherence is not a good.

Grammar 101: It does?

LOL, just living up to my pet troll status.
Also gotta get my post count up to where yours is. I also want to be upgraded to a Super Grandmaster.

Who'm I kidding? Super Grandmaster at what?...geez a guy has to have some ambition in life.

It's in options, under "Sync" of all places

I said it before and I will say it again for this very reason. Jeremy can you PLEASE use an aggregate of all the market share indicators when reporting on this. Wikipedia does it nicely.

You can search internet, bookmarks and type URL in one bar. But I guess you're referring to IMDB, extensions etc also.

I'm talking about straight up, type what you want and the address bar knows exactly what to do. Chrome has that uncanny ability. FF has some search built into the address bar but it's spotty at best.
