Google Chrome peaked when it was released with market share of 3.1%. Since then its dropped down to 1.5% and even sometime to 1.4%.

Google launched its browser in to market in September after so much talk and long wait. According to Global Marketshare Statistics Google Chrome reached its peak on September 3 with market share of 3.115%. However, it started to decline after that till October 27 it dropped down to 1.586%.

Microsoft Internet Explorer is leading the market with 55.973% followed by Mozilla Firefox 33.657% and Safari 4.932%.

However Google Chrome is still in Beta Version and of course the drop in usage statistics are only based on data from one month, so it’s too early to draw broad conclusions. It is quite possible that once Google releases a non-beta version, Chrome will receive higher adoption rates.
