w3schools: Chrome Adoption Growing Fast

Posted on 12. Jul, 2010 by Daniel Cawrey in Features, Tips

Back in January, I remarked about how quickly Chrome browser had been gaining share of the early adopter market. Back then, 10% of those who used the w3schools.com web developer site were browsing with Chrome. Now six months later that figure has jumped to over fifteen percent. Here is the month by month stats for 2010.

Those growth numbers are pretty impressive, don’t you think? They are markedly different from other browsers, whose numbers do move nearly as fast as Chrome.

So the data here tells one that those who develop for the web are increasingly interested in at least checking out what Chrome is all about. Recently Chris Blizzard from Mozilla told Gizmodo that they aren’t afraid of Chrome, and the data here suggests he’s right about that notion: Firefox has not lost any share to Chrome, it has mostly come at Microsoft’s expense.

NetApplications is reporting that worldwide use of Chrome is somewhere around 7%, so those who are using it to  develop and otherwise create for the web are double that amount. That seems pretty logical to me.
