Data from StatCounter reveals that Explorer share plummets when the working week is over, and this combined with a general trend upwards for Chrome resulted in the data firm crowning Google's browser number one in the world for the first time ever this past Sunday. Of course, normality was restored when the world went back to work the next day, but long-term it certainly looks like the writing is on the wall for Internet Explorer.
