Re:Non-Tech Percent of Web Traffic from Chrome
on
Google Chrome, Day 2
·
· Score: 1
I looked at the web logs
from a general purpose, non-techy website
(Watching Grass Grow)
and Chrome accounted for 0.73% of the browser traffic yesterday...... and traffic didn't start until after the release at Noon.
The User Agent String is
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.149.27 Safari/525.13"
For comparison, IE was 53.8%, Firefox was 34.6%,
Safari was 3.5% (non-Chrome) , Opera was 0.7%, and there was even
0.05% of traffic from an iPhone.
That's an impressive bump for day one (actually, half a day) and if you (unrealistically) extrapolated that rate, Chrome would have 100% of the browser market by year end!;-)
I had to modify the Analog source code to account for the Chrome browser
(gotta like open-source) but have have other popular programs (such as Google Analytics) been updated to identify this browser?
It seems Google is trying to take over the world anyway I an understand why they want to release a browser thats theirs.
The thing is though there is no way I would use their browser simply because they have the WORST SUPPORT in the world!
Myself and many others I know have had our Google Adsense cancelled for no reason and when I tried to find out why I never got a answer.
Of course all the money that was owed no one ever got it and it was not like it was a lot of money only $100.00 but when you do that to thousands of people it adds up.
At least at Microsoft and the others you an manage to get someone on the phone for support and they at least answer their emails a actual human emails you back not so with Google.
They should sell their 767 and hire a live support group no I think I will pass on the chrome browser.
