The graph the title links to is a little dated, it only cites stats up to July 2011. Here's a more up to date graph citing stats up to October 2011:

The curves are even more revealing.

yeah that's too bad others already lost that war even if IE, FF, Opera, etc became 2x better than Chrome overnight it wouldn't change a thing. The machine' rolling and advertised on 99% of the most visited pages, bundled with most software with default opt-in.

In 5 years from now we'll probably start saying how "maybe its not a good thing for ANY company to have 90%+ market share in something as important as the browser" and how "Yeah well Google didn't play fair, but that' ok cause we hated MS, and no one cared much about brand-fanboism for Opera or Firefox"
