According to computerwold.com chrome has surpassed Safari in terms of worldwide browser usage. So what does this really mean? With the launch of chrome for mac and linux users it has moved into the number three spot. Net application, which monitors web usage said that between December 6-12 seen an increase of .04% . That pushed moved chrome pass safari with total of 4.4%. Chrome was designed for people who live on the web. People searching for information, checking email, shopping or just being incognito!!!!!! Chrome wanted to re-think what operating systems should be. Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that was initially be targeted at netbooks.
3% is a large number of points in the real world but a relatively small fraction when it comes to internet explorer. It will be a long time before any browser to come anywhere near IE % usage, but the competition creates a better web experience for all users!
Justin, we keep hearing more and more about Chrome and I'm sure as time passes their customer base will continue to increase. I recently read an article about IE and they are planning on releasing another version within a couple of years.
ReplyDeleteI have actually tried Google Chrome and it has not disappoint me so far. It is actually fast comparing to other browsers, I think. Interestingly enough, one thing I did not like about Google Chrome is their design. I think I'm just not used to it! So far, looks like Firefox is still on top of their game.
ReplyDeleteAs the new browser war begins its first opening shots i see Chrome as the winner in the end. Though i currently use firefox and really have no urge to switch, mainly because i dont want to have to find comparable addons in chrome, i think google's name overall will carry the browser as more people learn that they have choices.
