Chrome Already Threatening Firefox/IE?
Looking at Omniture this morning, Google’s Chrome browser is already the # 4 browser on Computerworld.com today. Computerworld’s readers have always seemed ahead of the browser curve, but this is impressive considering the completely new browser launched yesterday. Here’s the breakdown:
1. Mozilla Firefox 3.0 – 27.9%
2. Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 – 26.8%
3. Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 – 18.9%
4. Google Chrome Beta – 8.8%
I doubt Chrome can sustain those numbers in the short term, but after playing around with it (and making it my default browser) I think the reduced CPU usage alone could launch it ahead of Firefox very quickly.
