Chrome Browser Quickly Gaining Ground
Google’s Matt Cutts has posted the browser share breakdown for visitors to his blog in March of 2009, and he notes a huge uptick in the number of Chrome users.
He says users of Google’s open-source browser account for over 7% of pageviews on his site. That’s a rather high number — partially explained by the fact that a lot of Google fanboys read Matt’s blog, and they are more likely to run Chrome.
Cutts also posts numbers from several other sources around the web, showing that Chrome is somewhere in the 1.5% to 2.5% range for all browser traffic across the internet.
Webmonkey’s own reports show Chrome in fourth place with 3.57%. This chart shows our share breakdown for the last 30 days. Again, our audience is rather geeky, forward-thinking, bleeding-edge and all that as well. But still, that’s some phenomenal growth for a browser that’s still very young, doesn’t do plug-ins, doesn’t have a real bookmark manager and doesn’t run natively on anything but Windows.
