Google Inc(NASDAQ:GOOGL) Browsers Take Over The Market Share Lead From Microsoft

Google Inc(NASDAQ:GOOGL) browsers have taken the lead from Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) as the most popular browsers in the U.S., according to The Wall Street Journal. 

The Journal said research from Adobe showed Google’s browsers were ahead in numbers of visits in April to US websites for both personal computers and mobile devices. 

Google’s Chrome and Android browsers had 31.8% share in April, up from around 26% in April 2013. Internet Explorer had a 30.9% share, vs. about 37% a year ago. 

On mobile devices alone, Apple’s Safari is by far the most popular, with 59% of searches, but Safari misses out on PC penetration.  The Journal said Google’s increasing browser market share boosts its core advertising business, in part by increasing clicks on search ads. 

In afternoon trade, GOOG was up 1.39% to $552.25, and MSFT was up 1.61% to $40.97.
