How Google Chrome beats the Web browser competition
Google Chrome's bounce in Web Browser market share indicates much more than just a successful ad campaign. In a market where users vote with their feet (and cursors), as many as one in five computer users now rely on a Web browser that only comes standard on a handful of Google-branded notebooks.
