Forget the Chrome browser launched by Google, analytic firm, StatCounter has shown us that Google's own stock Browser on Android now has a share of 22.67% which makes it the most used mobile browser around the world.
This means it has beaten Opera which is still close behind to Android with 21.7%. How can we forget Apple’s Safari for iPhone that now is holding 3rd position at 21.06% share. If you're wondering about Nokia’s Symbian browser then it has a share of 11.24% and RIM’s BlackBerry browser is surviving last at 6.53%.

These statistics indicate the growth of Android and show us that people use stock browsers more often than other alternatives like Dolphin, etc. But also these are very close statistics. A fluctuation is imminent. If only Google had made Chrome for Android available to all old android builds, then these shares would have had a new competitor. Tell us how's your experience of using the stock browsers or do you opt for other 3rd part browsers?
