Android Robot is Now World's Most Popular Mobile Browser

Android‘s web browser Robot has overtaken Opera to become the top mobile browser, according to StatCounter’s data. In February 2012, Android Robot had 22.67% market share, followed by Opera with 21.7% and iPhone‘s Safari with 21.06% share. Nokia and BlackBerry remain distant fourth and fifth, with 11.24% and 6.53% share, respectively.

If you trust StatCounter’s data, Opera – which has been the top dog throughout the last 12 months – has started losing market share quite quickly in January 2012, while both iPhone Safari and Android Robot did very well in that two-month period.

The graph above might look quite different in a year’s time, though, as we expect both Windows Phone’s IE and Google’s recently launched mobile Chrome to enter the picture. Also, note that Apple’s iPod touch is counted as a separate entity on this graph, and its 4.3% market share isn’t negligible
