New Google Browser : Google Chrome

When I started this blog, I started it in the aim to give related information and tips for Google Coder, people who are coding using the Google tools and technology.
So speaking about Google chrome, mean that it's not far from coding.
I always like to talk lately about hot things. First because I'm lazy and feels not obliged to take my keyboard and write about it in that moment exactly. I want just to take my time and think about it, read what other says before formulating my own point of view.

Google.com visitors (on first days of chrome launch) will find a small link under the search form, sponsoring the new browser; this heavy ad should bring millions of download to the Google Chrome.
While million downloaded it, I bet now, few uses. Me I was awaiting something special, something that will really change the way we navigate the Internet.
Google gave us a very basic browser. Let say platform. This platform is solid and will have great future. I said it, great future; but it's not the navigator of the moment.
  1. We use application more than webpages?
    What about hundred of millions of hits blogs are taking? Blogs (application inside) but a simple web page, on the output.
    What about also, news sites? What about also Wikipedia getting 30 millions hit every day
  2. No add-ons means another stupid IE
    The reason behind 'why people stopped using IE' is that IE doesn't support add-ons.
    I won't change from Firefox if chrome don't select all checkbox in one click, don't update my twitter without opening the page itself, don't digg it on a click and much more.
  3. It's fast the first time
    One thing that killed me on Firefox is 'Speed' and how can I say it. When Firefox hangs.... my mind goes crazy. When it crashes and loose data...
    I worked with Chrome for 3 days (and you know my web activity, 3000 page load per day!!). Finally the forth day, I returned to Firefox, it's all about the Internet Cache that up sized to some Giga bytes.
I have a great traffic on my sites, some which it exceeded hundred of visitors every day, it was an opportunity to see if people really loved and adopted that chrome.
As I'm using Google Analytics, so it already tracks Chrome foot prints.

First thing, few people are using Chrome, less than 1%, second.
The graph shows that first days, chrome was climbing, however it fall down quickly. Damn, it even continue falling!!! People didn't like it.

Another proof? A pull from Make Use Of, which I submit to digg myself ;)
Here's it and don't forget to digg http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/muo-polls-google-chrome-vs-firefox/
