What is more interesting is to capture the same data for the month of March 2014 alone in the second section.
Mozilla's (Firefox) income mostly comes from Google- every time someone searches Google using Firefox's search box, they give Mozilla a portion of the ad revenue. That accounts for over 90% of Mozilla's revenue, with the rest being donations (the Mozilla foundation is a registered non-profit). I don't know about Opera.
As far as Chrome on the iPhone, it really wouldn't make a difference. Chrome and Safari are actually the same web browser (Webkit, made by Apple) but with different chromes (the menu bars and toolbars and stuff). That's got nothing to do with AT&T, Apple just wants to maintain control over user experience on the iPhone and that's easier to do if you're using their software.
Really the big result of the browser wars would be the future direction of the Internet. Microsoft would like everyone to be using the Silverlight and other Microsoft technologies for web development because that would mean Microsoft could dictate control of the web- you'd have to buy Microsoft's development tools to make dynamic web programs. Mozilla and Google both want open web standards, such as HTML 5, to dominate because they want everyone to have equal access to the web. Google made their own web browser so that they could focus on application speed- they want web applications to run as well as desktop applications so that they can expand their offerings and get even more people to register for their services.

It will never be over, remember Sun Microsystem? What about Motorola? or Nokia.
The Technology industry is a rapid innovative industry. 1 year is a long time in the tech industry.
One day, Chrome will lose market share too.
The 4 big titans of Sillicon Valley that can influence the technology world are Microsoft, Apple, Google and Facebook.
Microsoft is a software company, nobody is going to unseat them anytime soon. Apple is the hardware company. Google and facebook are the internet company, this is why facebook doesn't want to work with Google.
The only company that has the capability to unseat Google is Facebook. With the vast data it compiled, FB can easily comes up with a much better search engine than Google. Mass human input is always better than computer's AI.
Mark is just buying time, one day, he will launch a search engine and when the time comes, Google will lose market share in search and eventually all their toys.
One problem is some of the trading platforms still not accepting Chrome browser.
