This new first for Google Chrome is according to data collected by StatCounter, the independent website analytics company. The research by the firm reports that Chrome managed to top the polls in Brazil, India, and Russia, which is what allowed Chrome to finally overcome Internet Explorer, if only for a short period of time.
