Google's Chrome Declining In Popularity
holy_calamity writes "After launching in a blaze of publicity that even warmed Slashdot, Google's browser grabbed a 3% share of the market, but has been slipping ever since, and now accounts for 1.5%. Google has also stopped promoting the browser on its search page. Assuming they wanted it to grab a significant share of the browser market, have they dropped the ball, or is this part of the plan?" On Slashdot, Chrome is still the #4 browser (after FF, IE, and Safari) but it was ahead of Safari for a few days, hitting almost 10% of our traffic.
It's a great browser... for Windows. Which I don't use. Make it for OS X and I'll use it.
Dear Slashdot: next time you want to mess with the site, add a rich-text editor for comments.
Lots of hype and no follow through or commitment. Google is a search engine company with lots of half finished technologies they don't have the vision to stick with or continue. Everyone sorta does their own thing, sponging off of search, and there's no real vision to any of it. Hope Sergei likes his spaceship.
This is my sig.
I want to live in whatever alternate Universe you inhabit where ads are "not annoying and tasteful". I bet you even have a pony.
But don't mind me, I'm just jealous that I have to live in this sucky universe with GWB, Sarah Palin and my soon-to-be-a negative number 401K balance.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
wine is a native api for linux yes, but chrome is not an application native to linux by most definitions.
It was not written with linux program methodology, performance, or usability in mind. Thus it is not native to linux.
