Google Chrome – not so shiny

Submitted by Vicky Lalwani on Friday, 24 October 2008One Comment

Is this yet another product like Google Talk that Google will carry on supporting even though it’s market share is peanuts?

Chrome to take over IE – bunch of bollocks! Chrome has lost market share week on week – and the above graph shows it’s heading down south.

Web Browser is something that people get attached to – it’s not easy to convert someone, especially this late in the market when you have IE, Firefox, Opera and others fighting for market share.

Personally I use IE and Opera, but prefer IE. Sure IE is a bit buggy and it has had its flaws, but I don’t think we would have heard of that many in the press, if it wasn’t for the fact that majority of the world use it.

      when i used chrome, i thought the top menu bar was too thin buttons were too cartoony – it was good but weird.

      and the idea of google potentially turning your internet cache into cash is a further turn off.

      good read tho, go FF, IE8 not so great – yet. ;)
