StatCounter has revealed the figures stating that Google Chrome has upstaged Apple Safari as the third most used Internet browser in the United States.

He also added that Google and Apple are involved in a very tight competition in the Internet browser (Chrome v/s Safari) and the smart phone (iPhone v/s Android) areas.
