i remember using chrome in its beta when it had a 7% market share

Good, Chrome is a very solid browser and perfect for most users.
By the way, does this account for Chrome installations, downloads, or usage? I personally use Nightly due to the extreme customizing potential (I have eliminated almost every single wasted pixel for maximum screen usage) but keep Chrome as a backup browser as some things have stopped working on Nightly. Battlelog and magnet links for instance.
-
Eh, it could be better.
But it still has quite a lot of features I can't understand isn't standard in other browsers.
And a few that REALLY needs to go (lol built in torrent client, just get uTorrent already)
I just wish the framework/API for extensions were a LITTLE BIT more flexible.
That and that they would also strongly encourage proper coding ethics for said extensions.
-
I'm an Opera Hipster myself. All the other browsers are too mainstream.
-
That was fast seeing as the project started 3-4 years ago.
-
G stands for generation, so it can be used for anything.

Why isnt sparkbrowser on that list?

1k+ yrs ago loving children was normal and even encouraged in some cultures. Our current culture finds it horrible, that's why people in the current culture find it horrible.

I still prefer Firefox, but Chrome is okay. Congrats to them on outdoing IE. It's about damn time something took its spot.
-
No love for Opera. :(

It's okay Opera, I still love you.

I still find it funny by public surveys, a lot of people didn't even know they were using a browser.
-
What I find interesting is the share almost comes from IE's usage. Firefox and the rest are staying fairly constant.
-
Went to Chrome after Firefox suddenly decided to start freezing up every 10 seconds, even after a Windows reinstallation. Never looked back.
-
Chrome crashes constantly for me now, going back to Firefox.
-
I love chrome, the only problem I have with it is embedded videos bug out on me or don't load at all.
-
Rise up and rejoice, fellow Chrome users!
Today is ours!
OT: I have been using chrome for years now, I still rank it as my favorite browser hands down.
-
Using FF simply for the fact it isn't Google.
I think I use too many Google services as it is. Last thing I need is for them to know everything about my browsing habits and actions. (If they aren't already with tracking cookies)
Perhaps the only reason I would think to switch is that Firefox consumes an unearthly amount of memory
-
I use FF my self, Chrome is equally as good, but I just feel more comfortable in Firefox.
-
Well can't say its not expected, its a good browser however for those who are giving IE slack.
I'm going to hugely guess you haven't used IE9, which is the only browser on the market to be 100% hardware accelerated, stock 64bit supported and follows the HTML5 and CSS3 specs to the dot by only shipping features which are approved with their front release and keeping the testing stuff to a different platform.
Something Google and Mozilla don't understand, Google is hilarious for it, they keep constantly moving shit between nightly, dev and public releases, half of it shouldn't be in the public release to be honest, a good example is CSS3 animations, sure they are lovely to tinker with but they ain't an approved part of the CSS3 spec since I last checked meaning they shouldn't be in a public use browser.
However saying that I'm being ironic as I use chrome but mainly because its quick and I can keep all my web shit synced together off one account, it was the first browser to use separate instances for its tabs so if shit crashed the whole browser wouldn't nuke its self, huge lack of memory leaks and I like the UI more than IE9s.
In the end, personal preference makes your browser, your browser.
-
No, opera.
IE9 is usable, its nothing great, still doesn't follow CSS3 or HTML5 as well as other browsers, is notifications are fucking terrible.
-
I don't think I've had anything Chrome related crash for a year or something. What the hell have you done?
The last time I checked Chrome used the most memory from all of the popular browsers. Having everything in a separate process has quite a bit of overhead. The difference is that once you close that tab you get all of that memory back though, unlike Firefox.
-
But guys, a more beautiful web is...
-
And for those wondering, its done this way because then it allows maximum performance and memory threading to be allocated to chrome as nessicary, and also means that if one part of chrome freezes, it'll only freeze that one part instead of all of Chrome (which means its much more stable).

Internet Explorer should be excluded since it's pre-installed on every single computer with windows.
-
Not in Europe.
-
Chrome is the new IE: people use it but don't know why is it there instead of something else. That's because of the bundling with Flash and the "browse faster" ads on YouTube. Also, Chrome preloads web pages, which can produce false hits, so I don't think it is really the 1st browser. Finally, StatCounter isn't very used in China, which represents 30% of internet users and where IE is still the most popular browser
-
Last time I used Chrome it suddenly stopped connecting to Internet for me and I was too dumb to figure out how to fix it, so back to Firefox. It rarely crashes on me.
-
lol uTorrent, just download it like everything else through your browser.
Thoroughly enjoying Opera, glad they're cutting some of the fat in their next release like Unite that just didn't stick on. It's good to put your failings behind you and learn from them. It's like Google's stuff, not everything works out, but sometimes there's some really useful services to be found there.
But honestly there's not that much of a difference between web browsers anymore. Everyone copies from the others and refines itself, then people realize they should probably do some innovating to win over customers and everyone benefits from it, again. Even IE seems to be catching up, tho its reputation will indubitably take time to recover.
I'd just really like a neutral net now. C'mon Google, what's that bullshit? Opera can't use your Reverse Image Search unless it masks itself as FF or Chrome? C'mon, that's just plain silly.
-
Glad to see IE not on top. I've used Firefox and Chrome for quite a while now. I've always had better luck with Firefox using less memory and crashing less. I just use Chrome so I can have one of my Facebook's open in Firefox and the other open in Chrome.
-
I guess dubstep drove people away.
-
I've always preferred Firefox. I've used it ever since I first tried it on my old laptop, it's just grown on me.
-
No, this did.
-
I thought Google Chrome raped your memory usage?
-
how did you get a screenshot of my desktop
-
Wait, so something that's actually good is popular? About fucking time.
-
Chrome is the only browser I always come back to if I want to try something new

Having a few billion to dump into advertising apparently helps these days.
