It was only two years ago that Internet Explorer was the dominant browser in the world with about 45% of desktop usage. Today, its share is around 30% and falling. During the same period, Chrome and Safari are the only two browsers in the top five that have gained in popularity.

In 2012, Firefox was the leading browser in Africa and Europe. In both regions, it appears that Chrome has increased in usage at the expense of Internet Explorer. At 2% usage share, Europe, together with Africa, is also the strongest region for Opera.

North America is still Internet Explorers stronghold but over the year, its usage share has fallen to 39% from 40% Oceania is the only region where Safari trumps Firefox, reaching the third place with 19% usage share. If the Browser Wars would really be called just that, Chrome would already have won decisively in South America with a 59% usage share.
