     Over the past weekend, Google Chrome had more users than Microsoft's Internet Explorer. This very well may mark the start of a new era in the World Wide Web. However, many people are questioning the data provided by, StatCounters, the internet tracking company because many other internet trackers still show that internet explorer is still leading the way. However, the only reason is because Internet Explorer comes with all Window's computers.StatCounters: Google Chrome-32.8%

                                                       Internet Explorer-31.9%

                                                       Mozilla Firefox- 25.5%

Although these numbers may be incorrect, it shows just how much times have changed. Google Chrome is now considered a faster, sleeker, and more efficient way to browse the web. Many experts predict that Google Chrome will soon officially take the lead. Stock prices have been rising and many complaints have been coming in by Internet Explorer users claiming that it is not innovative.
