Not too surprising, seeing it is bundled with almost all the most common browser utilities, Flash and Acrobat among them, unless you said no. And that "no" is written in tiny letters, so it's easy to miss.

That said...Chrome rocks.

IE gets more use than Chrome in the USA. The only king we recognize is Elvis! biggrin

Yes LB, but I'd also bet that the vast majority of those IE users here in the States also has 8-10 toolbars for Yahoo, McAfee, AIM etc cluttering up the browser.

Our Google tv uses it, so I can't say I don't ever use it. I still prefer Firefox, but no longer due to being the most secure. I like the add ons and having almost Opera-like options to set it up.

I guess I'm a technological simpleton but a browser is a browser to me. I'm an IE user and I have used Firefox and Safari on occasion but I just went back to using IE.

My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

I use FF since years, but the new versions incoming at high rate are starting to annoy me seriously, with these firefox windows popping up continouously to push you to DL the latest version and afterward, my two or three plugins being obsolete !

Since Chrome tends to load pages "in the background" that the user not necessarily visits, I tend to view these statistics with a grain of salt.
