This period marks the first time Chrome has pipped Safari to third spot, while their collective prosperity comes at the expense of IE, which continues to hemorrhage users at a rate of 0.92 percentage points a month. Microsoft&#8217;s 62.7 percent slice might still look mighty, but projections from Net Applications suggest it could shrink to below 50 percent by May of this year.

You&#8217;ll probably also want to know that Net Applications monitors incoming traffic to over 40,000 websites and generates a sample size of about 160 million unique visitors each month &#8212; making the veracity of its claims pretty robust. One hidden sign of our collective laziness: 21 percent of <em>all<\/em> users last quarter were still fulfilling their browsing needs with IE <em>6<\/em>.
