According to the latest statistics of StatCounter measurement tool, Google's browser accounted for 31.88% of the market share while Internet Explorer (IE) followed closely with 31.47%.
Previously, Chrome had overtaken IE on the weekend (March 18) and explained that because office workers were off, they did not use the default browser on the company's computer.
However, this time, web traffic with Chrome took the lead during the past 1 week. Although the rate is not much different, it shows that the use of Google browser is increasing while IE is decreasing.

Chrome (green) keeps going up while IE (blue) keeps falling.
IE is popular because it is installed by default on Windows systems (which accounts for nearly 90% of the computer market share). Observers suggest that the version of Internet Explorer 10 later this year along with Windows 8 operating system will continue to bring new vitality to this "old" browser.
StatCounter data is based on analyzing the traffic of 3 million websites and is considered by the tech community to be a reliable tool to evaluate the popularity of the browser.
