During the 2011 hacker conference, Pwn2Own, hackers attacked four popular browsers, Internet Explorer, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, and GoogleChrome. But Internet Explorer is only slightly behind of Chrome. According to the study Chrome is creating and putting into use new safety measures to boost the security of the browser. Recently German goverment announced that Chrome is the most secure browser and this announcement provide a lending weight to the study. And the second rank goes to Internet Explorer which is the most popular web browser. A recent study revealed that Google Chrome the second most popular browser gained the first rank in security.
The thing is that security and popularity are not same. Many browsers are fighting for market share and because of this they are mainly concentrating on the security. But the question is that which browser performs efficiently against malware, adware, viruses, and hackers and protects our device. Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft's Internet Explorer are some of the top web browser that are available today. "Teaching is my passion & sharing of knowledge is my motto" I regularly use Google Chrome, but I am forced to use Internet explorer and Mozilla Firefox when I have to submit some returns to organisations like the Employees Provident Fund Organization and Employees State Insurance Corporation which do not support Google Chrome for collection of their data. I am using the all the three browsers on my system. So, I would go with the rest of the world users of browsers and will give preference to Google Chrome. Once the users now give preference to Google Chrome than the internet explorer and Mozilla Firefox, then it must be understood that the Google Chrome is now used more world wide because of its easy to use user interface and other features including the security features. The second internet browser in terms of usage is Internet Explorer 31%, Mozilla FireFox 22% and the share of other browsers combined together is 10%. Google Chrome has become the world's mostly used web browser now. The position was different just a year before when internet explorer led with 45% followed by FireFox 30%, Chrome 17%, Safari 5% and Opera 2%.
But it became so popular just within four years of its release that its share of usage in the world usage of web browsers has reached 37% according to StatCounter.

Since the Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox are quite old in the market and have been used by the governmental and several big organizations from the beginning, most of these users have not shifted their loyalties to the new Google Chrome which released its beta version for Microsoft Windows on September 2, 2008, and the browser was released for safe and stable public use on 11th December 2008. The different categories of users use them for different purposes.
