According to some recent, new data from StatCounter, for the first time in the USA, Chrome has overtaken Safari. Currently, Google has 8.97 percent of the web traffic, while Apple has 8.88 percent. Internet Explorer, as well as Firefox were flat at 52 percent and 28.45 percent each.
The difference seems to be impressive, mostly due to the fact that Google’s browser has only been active for two years, whereas Apple has been offering Safari since 2003. Even if StatCounter hasn’t explained this shift, it is assumed that among the factors were Chrome’s speed and multi-platform support.
Apple has mainly optimized Safari for Macs; this has been rather secure in the USA through the company’s computer market share in this region. Lately, Apple has been making efforts to improve several features for Windows and has also added hardware acceleration for Microsoft’s operating system.
