Whether the figures stand the test of time or not, we shall see, but as of today/yesterday at least Google’s Chrome browser is responsible for 1% of global market share of the browsers out there. That obviously doesn’t sound like much, but remember it took Firefox some years to reach its current 22% market share. Though it seems like small numbers, it’s quite important.
Now if Google can just persuade corporate environments to drop IE6 as their main browser, it will be an even better day.
