Chrome Lost A Battle, But The War Continues

Even though Google’s Chrome browser keeps slipping in market shares, the company’s mission to make a name for itself in this segment was accomplished. A few weeks ago, around the time that the launch was scheduled, the new browser and its new features were on everybody’s lips, as it promised a whole new experience when it comes to Internet browsing.

As expected, there were and still are many flaws that demand fixing, many features that demand integration, but considering the fact that it is just the company’s first step, Web surfers should definitely give a chance to the upcoming upgraded versions. Google’s intentions target an easier, faster, more pleasurable Internet access for users which would definitely lead to a boost in its incoming revenue.

Its initial share of the worldwide browser market managed to reach a high point of 0.85 percent, dropping ever since. At this point, users seem to prefer their old familiar browsers, as they are not willing to deal with the errors and issues that a new browser might bring up. Many gave it a go out of curiosity and returned after a few days to their regular browser. Some called it interesting and gave it a positive review, but also stated that they will wait for the new versions before deciding on a permanent browser change.

For now, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Mozilla’s Firefox and also Apple’s Safari browser have no real competition, each strongly holding on to its user-base. Still, considering Google’s ambitious plans, it should not come as a surprise to anyone if the browser’s ‘top three’ will include over the next few years Google’s updated release.
