In what place by market share will Google's new browser Chrome be for Aug 09?

This is the comic that introduced Chrome.

I just downloaded it. It kicks IE and FF's ass. And it's Beta. WOW.

45% chance in first place ahead of IE?!?!

Hubdub is clearly showing a "tech-early-adopter" bias.

/me makes more purchases of the rest of the contracts =D

I gotta say that so far chrome is fast and easy.

It looks better than IE and FF. It's faster. It imported everything without a single problem and I like it better. Why not better than IE - I've already just dumped FF.

It's fast and easy and if one of the tabs crashes it just crashes that one tab... not all of em.

When I hit a new link I've never seen a browser open faster. Amazing speed.

Did you notice that the default search engine is culi and not Google.

I really cannot see any browser overtaking internet explorer, given that many people are not even aware that they have a choice. it toom me a good ten minutes to convince my father that there was actually another browser out there other than internet explorer, he thought it was like windows explorer and could not be supplanted.

They claim that apps can be written, taking advantage of some communication between tabs (frames, in a previous incarnation).
In a W3C ( http://www.w3c.org ) compliant browser, sibling frames could not communicate with each other, unless the parent window.document specifically allows access to it's functions. This could still be a mess in disquise. I'm going to hang low and test against some hefty javascript. I'll let you know what I find, if anything, interesting.

Well, in just a few minutes, using different, but standard display settings, here some initial findings ...

Google's Chrome may sound sexy, but ...
The current rendering engine is not compliant with w3c specification. (Easy javascript image manipulation is not even close).
The CSS style "position:absolute" is totally helpless. Once again, it does comply, and therefore, many new sites don't look so good anymore.
For some reason, getting a 'handle' on document objects does not seem as clean as it should.

However, and this may blow you away, but more than likely not ...


I ran the same test on MSIE 8 beta, and the results, while similar in nature, were not as profound.

Note: The series of tests were passed on MSIE 7, and the latest versions of Flock, Mozilla, Netscape, Opera, Safari, and 4 other browsers.

So, the waiting game begins.

I'm visiting this page on chrome! Within 5 minutes of downloading it i decided that i no longer needed Mozzila so i uninstalled it. However there have been a few bugs with my email since i used it. I think that its a tie between IE and Chrome. Not to mention the glitches it has with clicking. Still its only a beta

Be careful about the privacy if you are going to use it:

By default, it sends a lot of information back to Google about your browsing habits.

Google Analytics is saying 2% so far, putting it in 4th. That seems like a biased sample, though:
