Chrome Grabs 1% in One Day!
According to research conducted by us here at StatCounter, Google’s new browser, Chrome, has taken 1% of the global browser market within a day of launch.
Google’s unusual step of publicising the Chrome browser on its notoriously clutter-free homepage is an indication of the plans that Google has for this browser… 
“This is a phenomenal performance,” commented Aodhan Cullen, “this is war on Microsoft but the big loser could be Firefox.”
While Google may have the Internet Explorer market share in its sights, the fact that many Firefox users are more “mobile” as far as browser use is concerned, may impact on the current Firefox market share.
Note: The StatCounter analysis was conducted today, Wednesday, 03 September 2008, and was based on a sample of 18.5 million page views globally. The analysis identified that Internet Explorer holds 70% of the global browser market followed by Firefox with 22%.

I knew this would happen… great news for everyone.. other than Firefox.. because I have a sinking feeling that the people that would be testing this out.. are the same people that run Firefox… and the people that use IE .. just use it because it was already installed on their machine.
I will blog about this and link to this post shortly.
September 3rd, 2008 at 5:44 pm
firefox will be the big looser, why? the answer is simple: Mozilla Corporation gets loads of sponsorship money from google.
If Google drops the sponsorship thann Mozilla will suffer a huge loss of funding
Ima testdrive chrome a bit later and post my review
Cheers,
Tom
September 3rd, 2008 at 5:54 pm
beside sponsorship mozilla get money when user search google at their firefox search box.
but i still love firefox, they got a lot of addons.
i think ad blocker wont run on chrome..
September 3rd, 2008 at 6:00 pm
So far it looks much better than IE and even FF, what took them so long?
I like the fact that each tab has its own process in windows, but for them to take over they will need to compete with FF and their great extensions. I do believe that the IE era is coming to its end.
On a more personal note, I do not like the fact that Google has an eye on everything we do and that kinda pushed me away from using Chrome.
September 3rd, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Sorry, but remember how Cuil took 1% of the search engine market for a week? It’s brand new and people are trying it out. I downloaded Chrome yesterday and tried it, and I decided I just didn’t like it that much. It’s OK, and I like that the memory usage is low, but Firefox still kicks its butt for compatibility and add-ons. I count in that 1% because I downloaded and used it, but I won’t be using it much anymore unless it gets a ton better.
September 3rd, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Downloaded it about one hour ago. So far, so good. Very fast loading not only of web pages, but also when it starts. I also like the search function built into the address bar and also the screen shots of the last nine pages visited before the browser was closed when you restart it.

September 3rd, 2008 at 6:32 pm
It’s like Cuil all over again!
Chrome is quite… shiny and slick. However performance wise, I find Firefox far far superior. Just try it with 512mb ram on several pages full of images.
In incognito mode of course. Hmmm
There’s also a few little niggles, but if they get feedback and act on it, it will certainly be a contender.
September 3rd, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Also: does anyone else find it funny that there is no search function in the password manager?!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:04 pm
I’m going to try Google’s Chrome although I’m presently using Safari and delighted with it…….let the browser wars begin
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:05 pm
It will be interesting to see how well the new Google Chrome web browser will do in competing against all the other top major browsers.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:15 pm
I first wait for other people reviews
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:23 pm
A pity that I could not install Chrome after trying many times… What’s wrong with it??

September 3rd, 2008 at 7:44 pm
I DLed, it works fantastic! I had some trouble logging in to an SAP Portal that works on FF and IE .. seemed to not work at all though.
I tried http://Pixelsfortroops.com and that worked perfect too!
So, I’m excited about the new release!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:45 pm
With all the pain of my hearth Chrome is better than FF.Try it by using CCleaner and Memturbo after an identical browsers session.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:51 pm
It’s pretty fast on processing web pages. I don’t like a few things about it though. Like, it doesn’t select images in text editors like tinymce. I’ve heard people can add firefox’s extensions to it but I don’t know. If so, that’s cool.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:56 pm
As I stated yesterday on the “stout performance by FireFox 3″ thread:
Lookout both FF & IE…. here comes “Chrome” the new browser from Google. Aparently it’s open source, fast, & secure. I’m gonna check it out, if Chrome ends up being everything its been tooted, It’ll kill both IE and FF.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:58 pm
You said, “While Google may have the Internet Explorer market share in its sites (?sights) - or was that a pun?”
I downloaded Chrome yesterday instead of using Firefox. I like the speed and it freed up space on my screen so I can see more of the web page I am looking at.It also allows the user to increase print size very good ofr this boomer. One BIG problem, I could not log on to Statcounter. I had similar problem with Firefox initially and eventually found the work around by “allowing” the web URL my3.statcounter or whatever. Have not figured it out in Chrome yet so still use Firefox to get my stats.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:59 pm
I tried Chrome as soon as it was available for download. I did not like it. I found the interface to be very ugly. And it didn’t seem to do anything that Firefox doesn’t do as well or better. I have uninstalled Chrome.

September 3rd, 2008 at 9:07 pm
I also tried Chrome. My veredict? Although it is still in Beta, it doesn’t look very promising. I just felt it a bad imitation of Opera.
IMHO, the ranking of browsers is Opera > Safari > Firefox > Chrome > IE, and unlikely to change for a while.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Thanks for the info about Chrome, Great news & Performance sounds great either! I am going to test it out right away.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:26 pm
Tried Chrome immediately, and I really like it. Very nice minimal design.
Some advanced settings are still missing in the beta… but wow, I’m impressed. And no problems hare opening StatCounter in Chrome
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Wow! Great new browser like it already… less is more!
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Tested it and uninstalled it. Nothing excited at all.
It is a definitely indicator that Google already stepped into its middle-age stage and lost its vision and passion as pioneer in innovation.
Google is not supposed to waste talent and time to repeat others without any innovation. Those resources should be put into their core business to bring the search engine up to another level.
Google search engine is good but far from perfect. We need semantic search, natural language search, image search, video search and more.
As web developers, we actually hate new browser. It means we need extra work to make our web application compatible with new browser.
Sorry, Google. You are barking up the wrong tree.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:35 pm
a interesting development, but firefox is much better - i think
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Chrome feels like a combination of Opera and Firefox. The best part is History, in Firefox it wasn’t so visible. Webmasters are going to keep using Firefox because of addons, others might like Chrome, it’s simpler then IE.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:35 pm
clickclickclickclick…clickclick… this browser is fast!!! quick loading all pages instantly. Hope it stays like this… ie normally performs also faster in the beginning. Nice new tool but stay safe with FF
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:39 pm
what are the exact benefits of Chrome? Why is this better than internet explorer, safari, firefox or others?
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Microsoft does have something to worry about because Google is well branded: it is more likely that IE users will have heard of Google than of Mozilla or Opera. So if they are going to take a chance on another browser, it is going to be Chrome.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:14 pm
I am most impressed with how much faster Chrome is compared to firefox and IE.
Competition is always a good thing, for us it means a better product as the big boys start competing for our devotion to their browsers.
Chrome is going to win out for me, I love Google period.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:22 pm
@OilOil:
Most important benefit is speed. Chrome beats all browsers on performance, pagesloading & executing javascripts. Check this big benchmark done by Cnet recently. The results are really STUNNING!
Check them here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-10030888-92.html

September 3rd, 2008 at 10:41 pm
I must admit that this browser seems to have a big potential. The multi process architecture will probably make this browser much more stable and reliable than firefox.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:01 pm
As with the post last month about Cuil (anybody remember Cuil?), it seems the ST team are amazed by opening day results for a highly-hyped web event. And I predict that also just like Cuil, they’ll be baffed by the sudden drop in Chrome’s results over the next few days.
How about for the next big Web event (whatever that will be), ST wait a month or so, THEN tell us how well it’s performing. Or not. Nobody else cares about first-day results for a Beta product. I’d rather read about StatCounter news in a StatCounter blog. Believe it or not, this blog is not the first place people turn to for Internet news.
BTW, I downloaded Chrome earlier today. Clean, worked okay, but I was less than impressed with the lack of customization options. What if I don’t want the whole bookmark toolbar? Just a button, please.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:16 pm
I’d suggest that you all think long and hard, and read the fine print, before you use Chrome. Try reading Section 11 of the EULA. By posting on a blog through Chrome, you are giving Google a perpetual license to use what you write as they see fit. Same if you do email, etc. Read more at http://www.victoriousopposition.com/index.php/site/comments/beware-the-eula-on-googles-new-chrome-browser/
I won’t be using Chrome; if my site breaks in Chrome, I won’t fix it. I may even exclude it entirely, or present users with a warning screen.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:25 pm
Would have been nice to have this ‘open source’ browser set to go for us linux users, ya know… for we are open source! can not understand that one at all.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:47 pm
So far I haven’t found the security features in Chrome of the likes of FF. I love FF because I can set it to remove everything, just by closing it. I also love the features of much ease in denying cookie access on FF. If Chrome has these security features, where are they?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:56 pm
http://www.victoriousopposition.com/index.php/site/comments/beware-the-eula-on-googles-new-chrome-browser/
Nevermind. I deleted Chrome. I’m tired of people trying to pull bullshit like this. FF remains undefeated, still #1.

I downloaded Chrome yesterday and gave it a try - I am sticking with Firefox. There are just too many add-ons for Forefox that I love to use. I will check out chrome in 6 months or so but for now Firefox rules.
September 4th, 2008 at 3:06 am
But has anyone read the EULA? Everyone seems to have downloaded it without bothering to read them. I see some huge privacy issues unless they change it. And I think they took it straight out of Orkut. But Chrome isn’t Orkut and until they they rethink I’m not sure I want Google owning and using all the content I post… wherever I post it. Even on Facebook.
Check it out here.

I see a lot about how it will affect Firefox and IE…how about Safari? Even though Safari isn’t as compatible with some things as Firefox I like it a lot and am hoping it will get more recognition so it does become more compatible. I do use a lot of Google tools and find them useful but hope they’ll remain browser friendly to Safari rather than put all their attention to Chrome.
September 4th, 2008 at 3:11 am
@dwex - exactly. It just shows how many people actually read the fine print. It’s harder and harder to have “Google” and “Privacy” in the same sentence. I am sticking with Firefox.
September 4th, 2008 at 3:56 am
Im not even going to install this crap. Google is just out to expose what you do browsing wise and i cant see it doing any good.

This is crazy! Wow!
I will surely add your note on my blog!
Thanks for the survey!
September 4th, 2008 at 6:30 am
Chrome is fast, but looks and feels like a faster thinner copy of Opera.
…I think FF users are loyal, but who “loves” IE? Given that the majority of the market uses IE browser and Google searches, they might well see the Chrome link on Google and say “what’s that? I’ll try it coz we all know Google is good”. I predict Chrome will take equal amounts from both, or maybe a little more from IE.
Chrome loads graphical content on pages better than all other browsers… but had a couple of bugs/letdowns. 1) it doesn’t handle transparency and opacity at the same time — see the much admired “coda popup bubble” (www.panic.com/coda — mouseover on download icon: fine in Opera and FF, bad in IE, hmmm in Chrome). Also I came across another browser history problem specific to Chrome when trying a jQuery plugin on one of my sites.
…otherwise Chrome is very nice. But as someone else said, I kinda resent Google dominating everything I do. I’ll keep with Opera… and use Firefox Firebug for debugging. Stick it to the Man!
September 4th, 2008 at 6:38 am

September 4th, 2008 at 6:52 am

God knows what will happen if we add all the add-on componets. Wish google maintains browser speed.

At what frequency, will you be doing this kind of research? It will be interesting to watch the trend as we go along.Like others have said, Firefox is the biggest loser. Releasing a new browser is not the best way to fight IE. I am of the view that making open source operating systems more user friendly and secure will do the trick. If more users switch from Windows to Linux, then IE and most of Microsoft products will die!

Chrome is nice looking, but i’m not sure how functional it is.
When using chrome while posting to a forum I noticed that every word I typed was underlined in RED.
Now in FF that means a spelling error, but in chrome even a capitol “I” was underlined!
Also, redering of large text on my blog showed rendering issues on the curves of letters such as “D” & “S”, with the text being jagged.
I like the cleanliness of the bwowser, giving more space for the page rather than once tool bar after another.
Has anyone tried IE8 yet? I think THAT is the way FF and Chrome, amongst others, need to be heading.

Some reporting agencies have stated it was over 2% in the first day. Still whether 1%, 2%, 2.79% - it doesn’t matter. Chrome is Google’s and we know everyone (almost everyone) loves anything Google.
I think the tabs feature is a great selling point. Incognito feature? Not anything new really.
Yesterday, I was called at home to be interviewed on my opinions about Google Chrome by our local NEWS 6. For what it was worth, I went with it.
I gave my personal view that I believe Chrome is definitely IN.

The way Google Chrome was introduced was excellent and that was innovative idea to explain the features in a comic way .. I loved it. As a basic user I (of course not in office) didn’t find much reasons to leave FF which is more handy. As a technical users (In Office) features like JavaSript Runtime (V8), per process for a tab, security enhancements, pop optimization, ect where excellent idea.
But these are only missing features in FF, if they update accordingly in next version of FF then no need of Chrome ?

I’m leery of it, especially after reading several reports calling it “Big Brother”. An excerpt:
“For example, a couple weeks ago, in a barely noticed blog entry, reporter Clint Boulton of Computerworld recounted a conversation he’d had with a Google insider who admitted that whatever the company was saying publicly — and to Congress — about user privacy, it was indeed tracking not just user search trails, but also their identities — so-called “Deep Packet Inspection.” The entry drew few readers, and no comments, but it did attract attention from one source: A senior Google executive called the magazine to get it to back off the story.”

I usually count on Mozilla’s Firfox however I’m trying the new Google’s Chrome just for curiosity. I noticed the following:
- it has an automated ’spell checker’ that checks my words while typing this comment yet there’s no where in the ‘options’ to enable/disable it;
- it has a problem with redirecting php pages; for example if I try loging to ‘StatCounter’ using ‘Google Chrome’, an error page appears;
- there’s a process called ‘GoogleUpdate’ runs in the background and you can see it through ‘Task Manager (Windows)
C’est Tous!

1% sounds a lot, but i can imagine a time when they have 40% or more of the market (like everything else!).
whether this is a good or a bad thing i guess we wait and see…

I find that Opera browser works better on computers with low ram 64mb etc. Don’t know why people are saying Chrime is best for low ram when Opera is better.

in ‘Chrome’ it is said that a full office suite is included. I donno where it is. If so it is worth trying.

The google updater always sends information over to google servers. Not only can you see it in your taskbar, my ZoneAlarm detects these outbound communications. It’s fishy.

we need the google bar on the chrome.
It looks that chrome is correcting my righting but it doesn’t recognise the name google, it returns as a wrong word.
Any way is very good this option, for me that I’m Portuguese….
Very good

Although Google is fast and pretty has a simple interface, i miss the search task bar. Any idea if they will allow widgets?

I began to use Chrome a few weeks ago.I like its speed and simplicity.But I’m still not so used to it.I guess Chrome grabs about 2% a day.

We did not plant to install this this crap but after the hype, we decided to put it on a test machine. For a few hours, it sucked in our humble opinion (still in love with FireFox) but afterwards, it started to grow on us.
Going to wait six months before ading it to the office machines.

I wonder if Chrome supports Googl’s toolbar as IE does. Very useful thing..
