Is Google Chrome Taking Off?

June 3rd, 2009 · 3 Comments

I got a lot of hits on my post My 2¢ on Google Wave…. When I looked at the browser share stats (which I rarely do), I was surprised to find Google Chrome had more than a 12% share for the day:

Contrast this with Chrome’s under 5% share since the beginning of the year:

Does this mean Chrome is taking off with the technorati? Or was the sample skewed by the fact that my popular post was about Google Wave?

I guess we’ll have to wait and see…

    I think you may have a slight “skewing” of the stats due to the topic. Since the first of the year, I’ve only seen a slight up-tick of Chrome users coming to my blog. The stats have moved from a little under 5% at the first of the year, and now it is slightly under 7%. I’ve seen the same type of increase in Safari as well. IE has dropped from 55% to about 43% and Firefox has been stable at about 35% all year. I personally use Chrome and think that it is a lot faster than FF or IE. But, when I ask my peers what they are using, most still use IE (especially IE 6 for work) or FF.
    (Now that’s my 2ยข — which is probably more than you wanted.)
