Chrome’s Market Share Dwindles

After people initially downloaded Google's Chrome browser, it looked good, but now its market share has dwindled as the curious have gone.

Just after Google launched its Chrome browser, NetApplications measured its market share a 1.16%. By last Saturday that had dwindled to 0.81%, E-Commerce Times reported.

That’s not too surprising, given that the curious downloaded it and gave it a few road tests before returning to their own browser. But that doesn’t mean Chrome is dead in the water, by any means.

Grail Research conducted a survey on Chrome during its first month, and Kristin Coffin, client service officer, told LinuxInsider:

"Most users have had a good initial experience with Chrome. There are some things that could be improved, and many are uncomfortable with the privacy issues."

There are a number of features that users would like to see addressed in Chrome 2.0, whenever it appears. But this is Google, so don’t consign Chrome to the garbage can yet; after all, the company has a lot riding on this offering.
