The browser wars are heating up. According to statistics gathered by web analytics company StatCounter, global usage in November of Google Chrome overtook Firefox for the first time ever. The current numbers:


Internet Explorer: 40.63%

40.63% Google Chrome: 25.69%

25.69% Mozilla Firefox: 25.23%

25.23% Safari: 5.92%

5.92% Opera: 1.82%

Guess we were on the right track when we laid out how and why Chrome is overtaking Firefox among power users. If the trajectory of that graph holds, it looks like IE's got a big target on its back—which is both awesome and a little frightening (I can't be the only one who has a healthy dose of Google fear).
