According to a note from research firm StatCounter, Google Chrome managed to pass Firefox as the second most used browser last Sunday.
Globally, Chrome took a 26.22 percent share compared to Firefox's 26.16.
The spike did only last a day, however, and Chrome is on pace to move to 24.85 percent share for the month of October, while Firefox falls slightly to 26.68.
Perhaps most notably is the fact that StatCounter says Internet Explorer has fallen under 40 percent for the first time ever, to 39.99 percent.
Just like with all browsers, the market share for Chrome is different on all continents. In North America it sits at just above 20 percent share while in South America it is just under 41 percent share.
