Google's Chrome browser is already wildly popular. After all, it claimed 62.7% of the worldwide market share for web browser usage over the past 12 months as of May 2019 according to StatCounter's Global Stats, which is based on aggregate data collected from a sample of more than 10 billion page views per month across more than two million websites.
