    > So Chrome is the most used browser and IE is the browser used by the most people. Which is the more profitable status? It depends. Are you selling ads by pagehits? Then the former. Are you selling user info by number of users? Then the latter. (And aside from ads and personal info, browsers don't make money in a direct way.)

            That doesn't tell me how much money Google makes from it, if any.
