Chrome, Google's new browser, has really started with a bang. It has managed to capture over 1% of the market share in just 10 hours of its launch, writes TG Daily. The hourly tracking of Chrome on Market Share has revealed that Chrome passed 0.5% in just 2 hours. By midnight (EDT) it had surpassed 1% of the market share. By next day 4 a.m., it actually hit 1.48% share, after which it continued at 1% for the rest of the day.
Capturing 1% of the market share hasn't really come as a surprise, considering the leadership position that Google enjoys in the consumer Internet space, plus the attention the browser received in the past two days. However, we cannot ignore the fact that 1% share is a huge piece of the pie, but only time will tell if Chrome will be able to maintain the same growth rate as the novelty wears off.

. I cannot feel good about this browser while knowing that anything that i enter in it can be used by Google. IE8 Beta2 as my primary browser + Firefox 3.01 + Opera work great for me.
. I don't think those 1/2.578% of users use it as their primary browser. For me it's no the privacy thing, it just doesn't ring a bell.
