Chrome Captures 1% Market Share In Just Nine Hours

Chrome Captures 1% Market Share In Just Nine Hours

Techtree News Staff, Sep 04, 2008 1240 hrs IST

Chrome, Google's much-anticipated browser, has managed to capture 1% of the market share in its first 9 hours! This sure adds more action to the browser war.

Chrome, Google's new browser, has really started with a bang. It has managed to capture over 1% of the market share in just 10 hours of its launch, writes TG Daily.

The hourly tracking of Chrome on Market Share has revealed that Chrome passed 0.5% in just 2 hours. By midnight (EDT) it had surpassed 1% of the market share. By next day 4 a.m., it actually hit 1.48% share, after which it continued at 1% for the rest of the day.

Capturing 1% of the market share hasn't really come as a surprise, considering the leadership position that Google enjoys in the consumer Internet space, plus the attention the browser received in the past two days. However, we cannot ignore the fact that 1% share is a huge piece of the pie, but only time will tell if Chrome will be able to maintain the same growth rate as the novelty wears off.
