Facebook Starts Recommending Opera Over Google Chrome

Facebook is no longer suggesting Google Chrome as a recommended browser. If you are using a web browser that does not work well with Facebook, you will be directed to an “unsupported web browser” page. Facebook currently recommends Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera. Up until now, Facebook used to recommend Google Chrome instead of Opera. There has been a lot of speculation that Facebook is planning to acquire Opera and this may just be dropping a hint.

IE is now #2 followed by Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Android Robot has also become the most popular option for mobile based web surfers in March as well. It is nearly impossible for data to be 100% accurate when it comes to measuring web browser market share. Usually it is decided based on small measurement surveys. Regardless, Google Chrome’s growth and adoption rates are undeniable and it is coming at the expense of Firefox and IE.

Google and Mozilla are not happy with this because they believe that they will be locked out. Mozilla said that Microsoft is preventing them from bringing a competitive version of Firefox to Windows RT.

Internet Explorer Gains A Bit Of Market Share In March

Microsoft Internet Explorer’s market share has been on the decline for the last few years, but it has gained a bit more market share in the last month according to research from Net Applications. When Internet Explorer is measured by Net Applications, it includes all of the versions. IE gained a full percentage point in the past month and it is now sitting at 53.83%, which is the highest level since September 2011. Firefox and Chrome each dropped less than a percentage point to 20.55 and 18.57%, respectively. Note: Net Applications recently tweaked their method for measuring browser usage, but it is unclear whether this would shift favor for IE.

Aaron Wall Discovers Google Appears To Be Sponsoring Paid Chrome Links: “This Post Sponsored By Google”

Aaron Wall of SEO Book has written a blog post about how a simple search for “This post is sponsored by Google” returns over 400 pages of results as part of a marketing campaign for the Google Chrome browser. This is surprising because Google has discouraged bloggers to be “influenced” to write about specific services or products. My guess is that Google hired a PR company to market Google Chrome and may not have been aware that these bloggers were being paid to promote Chrome.
