Funny, considering IE had 98% market share just a few years ago. Google now has the most popular browser, smartphone OS, and search engine. I bet Yahoo wishes they wouldn't have passed up the opportunity to buy Google before it blew up.

To be honest, I have a hard time believing this. I have only ever seen one person use chrome since it has been out. Workplaces usually are either IE or Firefox too.

They are looking at north american traffic only, which is way different than world wide. In china and india, bootleg windows XP is still king and computers never get upgraded from IE6.
