Like quite a few of you, I was intrigued by the announcement of the new Google browser, Chrome. Apparently a few of you were as well – Chrome has made up 2.6% of visitors on my site in the last week! I checked a few client sites, they were getting between 0.1 and 0.5%. Not bad for a first week. Still, it shows what I’ve long suspected – the users of this site are a little more sophisticated than the average user.

Anyone think Chrome will knock Firefox off its #2 spot? How about knocking IE off?

My prediction: Chrome will reach 10 – 15% in 12 months, primarily by stealing Firefox market share. It will continue to creep up, but IE will remain #1 for the forseeable  future. Still, who knows what 2 -5 years may bring.
