Chrome takes its bite of the Market
The early release of the Chrome comic book may have altered the way Google released the Chrome it did not cause it any harm. The early success of Google’s Chrome has been astonishing. The Chrome ate up 1% of the browser market on the very day of its release. It has been on the constant rise and currently is close to 2% (4 days since its release). Some sites though are reporting percentages as high as 6 percent including Google itself.
So what was the key to the Chrome’s extraordinary success? Great timing, the chrome’s comic was released on labor day on an unofficial Google blog. Labor day is usually a very slow news day and Google took advantage of that. The chrome was available for download even before Google had completed its announcement which was streamed live all across the internet. Google has only released the windows version which is a beta and it has become the world’s 4th most used browser in the matter of 4 days. The future of Google’s Chrome seems very bright despite privacy concerns being raised.
Google has not yet announced a date for the release of its final version or for other operating systems.
Below are the test results of some tests carried out using different browsers:
Chrome is not 100% Pure metal
Google’s Chrome has an imploring clean look and renders websites faster than any other browser. Google is giving all this to users free of charge, but there are strings attached. The browser will give Google access to valuable user data.
The Chrome comes with (so-called) Omnibox pre-installed, where a user types in a search query or a website URL. As long as Google is your default search engine and the suggest feature is left on, Google will capture 2% of the data entered into the Omnibox and keep it for its own records. If Google’s Chrome attains its much anticipated success, the internet giant will have an exceedingly valuable stream of new user data, not bounded to what users search but what websites they visit outside of the Google’s web space.
Google has made it clear that such “tracking Capabilities” can be switched off by the user. If the user switches on the “Incognito” privacy function, then Google will have no trace.
Forrester Research analyst Sheri McLeish believes that it would be “counter-intuitive for Google not to use Chrome to gain more user data”. She went on to discredit the privacy function “it doesn’t mean they don’t collect that information, or won’t.”.
The potential of tapping user data for targeted advertising is huge.
We all know that Google’s Chrome is not created solely as new stream of user data, Sheri agrees too. Google has Vowed to establish Chrome as the “central access point” of all of its internet services.
Chrome Google gets metal.
Tech fans have flocked to Google Chrome (including me), Individuals and small businesses are playing along.
The real Question is will enterprises fancy Google’s chrome after being pig-headedly loyal to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, in spite of Mozilla’s Firefox record breaking success. Chrome’s clean look and fast rending capabilities will appeal to developers, but will they put in the time and investment to rewrite their programs and test their compatibility with Chrome.
Greg Raiz, who is a developer and owns Raizlabs, a Mass. custom software maker, says “The only thing that would make me want to test on Chrome is if the client wants it or if Chrome gets significant market share, Honestly, it’s a business thing.” IT managers and CIO’s reckon browser performance as only one among many factors to take into consideration before initiating a new venture.
Virgin Entertainment Group Inc. CIO, Robert Fork said “I’d have to make sure Chrome worked well with all of our other apps. What is the business value in that?” “I give Google all the credit in the world for innovative solutions … but to Microsoft’s credit, they’ve got a lot more of an enterprise attitude,”. Robert’s attitude is just what Microsoft wants, he went on to say “Google Chrome is definitely faster than IE 8 Beta 2. But there’d have to be astronomical performance improvements in Chrome for us to switch,”.
Personally I prefer Google’s Chrome over Internet Explorer, with Google’s innovation, a powerful search engine, tools like Youtube and Google Earth, and last and but most Google’s big wallet i can say with confidence that the Chrome will be something to take seriously.
