Nope. Not even close (EU, please note!) Running at about 25% market share at the moment, well behind both MS's various offerings and oddments various (though thrashing Firefox!)

Where did anyone suggest limiting things to the desktop?

Well, equally where did anyone suggest limiting it to only the 5 most used? Point is that it's not everyone that uses Chrome and by a long way so.

When #5 is sitting at less than 1.5%... what's the point?

Very true, I just thought your statistic was deceiving.

IE doesn't count. It's the default browser on Windows, people just use it.
It's also forced down our throats in corporate environments. Those users have no choice, Google could pop up ads until hell freezes over (or heaven vaporizes, depending on what you believe about global warming) without making any difference.

OK... what does Net Market Share indicate when we include all platforms instead of just desktop?
I tried to check but it wanted me to pay for the honor.

It's not about desktop, it's about measuring strategy. The article linked explains it. But let me demonstrate with a simple example:
Alice opens codeproject.com in IE
Bob opens codeproject.com in IE
Charlie opens codeproject.com in Chrome, then opens 3 other websites with the same.
Net Market Share will report 66% IE, because 66% of people use that browser. Most other sites will report 33%, because across all those websites 2 out of 6 requests came from Chrome. That's why you can end up with wildly differing numbers.

Yeah, I get it but it's irrelevant to this discussion.
Someone quoted a statistic about browser usage that (to me) looked very wrong. The data he provided was for desktop usage only. All I'm saying is that it would be nice to see the expanded data from the same source that includes mobile devices as well.
Kapeesh?

But that's the whole point, Chrome is still not used by the majority of people, so it makes sense for them to advertise it (contrary what OP suggested). The statistics you linked as a reply to a statement about Chrome not being dominant at all, without context, seemed to imply differently. I've just pointed out (replying to that post) that the previous statement was correct, still more people use IE than Chrome.

Please provide data that includes mobile devices that indicates that.

Indeed - I use Chrome on my desktop, and my tablet, and my phone - and since Chrome ships with every Android device I can think of, and since Android is the most used mobile OS[^] I think Chrome is likely to come out well ahead of IE...

You made me curious, so I just pulled some data from one of my servers.
For the last 200,000 requests on a production server, worldwide:
1. Chrome 37.90%
2. Internet Explorer 24.30%
3. Safari 18.60%
4. Firefox 15.38%
I have no opinion, I'm just reporting the data for it's own sake.

No I don't use Chrome, except for testing and mobile. I use FF for desktop and laptop as I am satisfied with it and the customizations and downloaders I have installed would be a hassle to recreate in Chrome.

I don't use Google OR Chrome.
* I do open it maybe once a year at work to validate code works across platforms...
Same goes for every other "cloud" service.

They're long past going too far, which is why I haven't used google search for months.

Controller or Action Not Found
Do not try and find the page. That’s impossible. Instead only try to realise the truth:
There is no page.
