But IE numbers still dropping as rivals -- including Firefox, Safari -- gain users
Google's Chrome and Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) were the big winners last month in the browser share sweepstakes, according to Web measurement company Net Applications.
Chrome's usage share climbed by 0.4 of a percentage point, from 1.4% to 1.8%, the largest one-month increase since the browser debuted last September. The gain represented a 27% surge over April.
Microsoft's newest browser also posted its biggest-ever increase, gaining 3.7 percentage points to end May at 7.6% -- a one-month growth rate of over 91% -- as the upgrade process rolled out to more users.
