Google Chrome won the 'runner-up' in the UK

Google Chrome surpassed Firefox, becoming the second most popular browser in the UK with a 22% market share. Internet Explorer is still No. 1 with 45% market share. Apple's Safari browser ranked 4th with 9% market share.

Statcounter statistics show a growing appeal of the Chrome browser created by the Internet giant in the UK search market. Google's development in the browser market is due in part to a nationwide advertising campaign - Chrome is Google's first product advertised on British television. However, the main reason is probably thanks to the speed advantage of this browser.

According to Statcounter, in the world, Chrome ranked third with 20.65% market share. Analysts predict that Chrome will surpass Firefox, which has been declining since January. Microsoft's Internet Explorer plummeted to 43% due to warnings about security vulnerabilities.

Last month, Google introduced a Chromebook based on Chrome browser and was considered an ambitious attack on Microsoft. This product will be produced by Samsung and Acer, companies that previously produced computers running Microsoft's operating system.
