Windows 7 400 Published by

The Inquirer reports that Microsoft's Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) web browser has finally overtaken Mozilla's Firefox and Google's Chrome on Windows 7



Citing Net Applications' figures, Microsoft's said its latest web browser has just edged above Google Chrome to take top spot among what Microsoft terms 'modern browsers' on Windows 7. While Internet Explorer 9 has surpassed its contemporary rivals, Microsoft concedes that Internet Explorer 8 is still the most popular web browser among Windows 7 users.

Last month it was a different story, with Mozilla's Firefox holding top spot, falling dramatically from first to third spot in just one month. Statcounter's latest figures also echo Net Applications' figures of Firefox's decline, with the analyst firm claiming that Google's Chrome has overtaken Firefox.
