We all know that immediate adoption of new products account for only a small portion of long-term usage. With that said, a week after Google’s Chrome web browser was released it accounts for only a small portion (about 7/10 of a percent) of the market.
Current Firefox users have cited the lack of importable/usable plugins for the new browser as a reason why they will not make the leap from the Mozilla browser to Google. Others (including yours truely) have noted that if Google tracks your movements beyond its search capabilities to all of your web browsing, you would be more suseptible to targeted advertising and “Big Brother” style databases storing your habits.
Time will tell how much of an impact Google will make on the web browser market, but after a week out, things are not looking too good.
