Chrome Browser Market Share Tails Off, Depending on Data Source
Posted on 06. Aug, 2010 by Daniel Cawrey in Features, News
It’s really hard to track down correct browser statistics.
Depending on who you trust for browser information, the situation gets muddy very quickly on what is going on. According to NetApplications, Chrome’s browser share actually went down, but StatCounter is showing a month over month gain in share.
ConcievablyTech’s Kurt Baake has written a great article on the subject, and it looks like they are leaning toward the StatCounter data. However, major publications such as the Wall Street Journal still rely on NetApplications.
It’s hard for me to believe that Chrome’s market share actually went down given that Google is marketing their browser all over the web. But as TheNextWeb points out, sales of Windows 7 has been strong, and that has led to more use of Internet Explorer 8 that comes with the OS – and is not all that terrible of a browser, mind you.
Anyways, can we find a freaking consensus on this information? That would be really nice.
