So I had to use Internet Explorer today (yes, I know, it was a horrible experience) and noticed on Google’s homepage that they’re advertising their Chrome web browser. Strange, I thought; haven’t seen that before. After a quick look in Firefox, Safari and Opera it seems Google are only targeting users of Internet Explorer to switch to Chrome. Good job lads!

Since it’s release late last year Chrome has already gained 1.23% of the market share according to Net Applications, which may not seem like a big number but it is significant as it shows it’s growing at the same rate as more established browsers Firefox and Safari.

I like Chrome - it may have a few hiccups and teething problems but it remains fast to use and has a lovely interface so the more people Google attract away from Internet Explorer the better.
