Google Chrome becomes world's number one browser for a single day

Google Chrome becomes world's number one browser for a single day

The search giant's browser pipped its competition to the post for a day.

Google Chrome squeezed past main rivals Firefox and Internet Explorer on Sunday March 18th to become the world's most used browser that day.

Website analytics company StatCounter who recorded the achievement noted that Chrome topped the polls in India, Russia and Brazil, which contributed to its number ones status.

Although Chrome only topped the charts for a day, there does tend to be a trend to use Chrome at the weekends when people are free to escape from office PC constraints and use preferred software.

There is the conflicting report that StatCounter tracks Chrome "Pre-rendering" the pages, so the count is higher than just plain page hits. http://www.winsupersite.com/article/paul-thurrotts-wininfo/microsoft-chrome-number-reports-142638
