Chrome steals share from every rival but Safari

Only Apple's browser seems safe from Chrome's inroads, at least for now


(Computerworld) Two weeks after the launch of Chrome, Google Inc.'s browser has stolen market share from every competitor except Apple Inc.'s Safari, an Internet measurement company said today.

At the end of its second week, Chrome accounted for 0.85% of the browsers that visited the 40,000 sites monitored by Net Applications Inc., an increase from the 0.67% the week before.

Chrome's share came at the expense of Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer (IE), Mozilla Corp.'s Firefox, Opera Software ASA's Opera and even AOL LLC's Netscape, all of which have watched their browser share drop in the past two weeks. Only Safari escaped Chrome's impact; Apple's browser, in fact, has gained nearly 0.7 percentage points during the past 14 days.

That picture is in marked contrast to last week, said Vince Vizzaccaro, Net Applications' executive vice president of marketing, when his company's data pointed to IE as the sole browser that had lost ground since Chrome's Sept. 2 release. "The market share hit from Chrome has now affected every major browser except Safari," Vizzaccaro said..............

Chrome is getting attention now, only the good stuff on chrome that is. Safari wont be affected so much because  most safari user run safari on apple products. Chrome is infact trying to get features of FF and load css fast and accurate like opera. Infact, Opera is still unheard and unused by people because people loves to follow the trend. The only people that use Opera are the ones who agreed that Opera is treated unfairly. So the truth? commercial mimics to gain attention of users. People starts to boost about their browser and comment that other browsers is useless. Im not going to shut up untill the browser discrimination ends, unless the chrome's acid3 test proved me wrong.

I have a feeling Chrome will prove you wrong. You know the way Google does things; always the best... And best, they shall be.
