Internet Explorer is still the most popular browser among users worldwide. Chrome is the most popular browser among certain techies. Chrome is also popular among users tricked into installing it via forced bundleware with Java updates, free antivirus engine updates, and (ironically) Flash plugin downloads for Firefox.

Apologies. I'd skimmed this earlier and thought we were only talking about desktop browser share instead of overall.
Oh hi 2012, what are you doing here?
Just like IE is popular among users tricked into installing it via forced bundleware with Windows?
Microsoft was forced to include the browser choice thing for a few years in Europe.

I wish someone would take a closer look at how Google push Chrome as well.
