First post of the year on TWR, and any Google fanboy (including me!) would find this one like music to their ears. Taking into consideration the statistics for the last three months (Oct – Dec 09, it appears that Chrome, from Google, has overtaken Apple’s Safari in the ever-competitive browser wars.
A look into the global stats provided by statcounter shows how Chrome has clearly overtaken Safari:
The (3rd) green bar indicates Chrome while the (4th) blackish one below it represents Safari. At the time of posting their share in the browser market was 4.78% and 3.54% respectively.
Another image, from theappleblog also states a similar story:
One of the major reasons for this increase was that Chrome had been released for Mac, thereby stealing Apple’s monopoly in the Mac’s browser market. Also the coming-out-of-beta of Chrome for Linux has helped it. The newly released themes and extensions have also helped its cause. Last but not the least, it’s a Google product! 
But all’s not bad for Apple. Their share in the mobile OS segment just got strengthened even more, with the iPhone OS increasing its market share.
