Google Chrome Displaces Safari As Third In Survey

Azureflare writes "According to a Net Applications survey, Google Chrome has replaced Apple's Safari as the number-three browser. This may be partially explained by the release of the Chrome beta on Mac and Linux, but may also be due to users jumping ship from IE. More analysis on this topic can be found at ComputerWorld. As anecdotal evidence of Google Chrome usage gaining steam, Bank of America has apparently recently added Google Chrome to their list of officially supported browsers."

    According to a Net Applications survey, Google Chrome has replaced Apple's Safari as the number-three browser.

    I remember when Chrome first came out it got panned, much like Google's phone is today and I'm sure will happen to their netbook when it arrives. And yet, here's Chrome, moving into the number 3 spot.

    Maybe the initial release isn't so earth shattering, but over time they get more and more useful. It's like Google makes technology blank slates and lets users shape the functionality.

    Personally, I think that's a brilliant business model. If one or two don't work out, no big deal as long as they didn't put too much money into it. Refreshingly different from how Microsoft operates.
