Google Chrome has overtaken Apple Safari to become the third-largest browser in the U.S.
Here are the current North American market standings based on market shares:
IE__________ 48.92%
Firefox______ 26.7%
Chrome______12.82%
Safari________10.16%
Here is the loss or gain in the market share:
Microsoft Internet Explorer____________Loss of 2 percentage points
Google Chrome______________________Gain of 1.55 percentage points

Globally, Microsoft has even more reason for concern. In Europe, Mozilla Firefox narrowly overtook it to become the most popular browser in the entire continent.

Global picture:
For the first time in October 2010, IE's global market share dipped below 50 percent. Google Chrome gained the most from the slack, but with roughly 14 percent of the global market, so still some way to go to overtake Microsoft.
Mozilla Firefox held a steady second place last year, veering little from 31 percent market share. Notably in the data, the figures for Microsoft IE 9 Beta are not included. However, Earlier this week Microsoft said IE 9 Beta has been downloaded more than 20 million times.
Global User distribution:
Roughly 33 percent of all browser users are from North America.
