The thing is even Apple lovers would rather use Google Chrome and Firefox than Safari and are switching over to Google Chrome and Firefox.

With steve jobs out of the picture, apple is only going to suffer losing credibility in their new products leaving only already established apple fans to keep their niche market. Ipods, iphones, and imacs will still keep them afloat for now but android devices are catching up to what iphone can offer and will eventually over take them if apple can’t keep innovating and getting the public behind them like they have been able to do with Jobs. That’s going to be a real pain for safari which isn’t very popular on non apple devices, unlike what chrome and firefox do.

Safari is turning into an interesting story this month. Once upon a lifetime ago, (beginning of 2008) Opera and Safari were each enjoying about 1.5% of the browser market and Firefox had only just broken the two-digit mark against IE’s 83% share. This was also the beginning of the iPhone which came out in mid ’07, but hadn’t really caught fire like it would. By August, Safari had nosed ahead of Opera slightly, but they were both in the 2.5% share range when iPhone 3G queued up millions of C-note toting Americans in lines around the Apple Stores’ city block from coast to coast. By early 2009, Safari (3.60%) had put a full percentage point lead against Opera (2.45%) because although Opera Mini runs great on the iPhone, no one knew it! Now, (2011) Apple is giving Verizon the iPhone for distribution which should poise Safari to be the next two-digit share browser, possibly this year.

Firefox (22.75%) is still struggling to recover from last year’s Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 FUD campaign which halted my prognosticated 25% share for Firefox dead in its tracks. I was very pleased to see that they (FF) have lit up a FaceBook group that is sending out regular announcements and gathering a pretty good following (3.5 million this month). Still though, Chrome seems to be proselytizing both FF and IE users, and with last month’s surge in Safari usage, I’m starting to wonder if FF is ever going to reach that vaunted Quarter share mark.

I guess the coming months will tell.

This feels so much like the smartphone race for top spot… with Blackberry or Nokia on top depending on if you are looking at the US picture or global… Both feeling aged at this point…
…and newcomer, leading edge product Google coming up from the ground floor and gaining ground as the old guard is losing ground.

Time to invest in Google stock I think…
