In June 2012, web browser market share data presented conflicting views from different sources. StatCounter reported Google Chrome as the leading browser with 32.71%, followed by Internet Explorer at 32.31%, and Firefox at 24.56%. Conversely, NetApplications indicated IE still held the top spot with 54.02%, with Firefox at 20.06% and Chrome at 19.08%. Despite these discrepancies, IE, Chrome, and Firefox consistently emerged as the dominant players. Chrome shows strong growth potential due to its speed and usability, while IE faces a tough challenge but might see a boost from the upcoming IE10 release, and Firefox needs to innovate to maintain its user base.

The war among the leading web browsers is still on after Google Chrome took over IE as the No.1 web browser last month. Let's take a look at the market share for different web browsers in June 2012.

According to statCounter.  Chrome still remains at the No. 1 position and its market share is continuously increasing. Its market share increases by 0.28% from 32.43% in May to 32.71% in June.

Among them, IE will have a tough time in the future since it faces the challenge of Chrome. fortunately, IE10 may be released late this year, it may help IE recover its loss. Chrome has the potential to gain more market share because of its speed and usability. For Firefox, if it cannot provide more attractive features, users may finally choose to leave it.
