The results are out from the latest Net Applications survey of Web browser market share, and Google continues to capture market share and headlines with its Chrome Web browser. Drilling down into the stats, though, and looking behind the curtain reveals that real winner in the market share department is Internet Explorer 8.

The main headline coming out of the most recent data is that Chrome captured the largest gain--growing .32 percent to a new market share of 7.05 percent. Chrome's gain is further enhanced by the fact that both Internet Explorer and Firefox declined.

Fair enough. Those statistics are true, and there is no denying that Chrome is a solid Web browser that is enjoying relative success at the expense of competing browsers. However, if you look at the stats through some other lenses, Internet Explorer 8--and the upcoming Internet Explorer 9--are both gaining momentum as well.
