Google Chrome browser is now 30 million users strong, 30 million is certainly a big number, but it is still a tiny fraction of Internet Explorer or Firefox (which has 330 million users). NetApplications shows Chrome with only a 3.58 percent market share at the end of October, compared to 24 percent for Firefox and 65 percent for IE. But remember, Chrome only launched a year ago, so that is a fast ramp by any standard.

Considering that Google is ranked #1 on the web; the Chrome Browser is growing in popularity very fast. It is the most secure web browser; hackers don’t like playing in the “sandbox”. The security of Google Chrome will only lead to the creation of the most secure Operating System on the market when Chrome OS is released early next year. Pay attention Microsoft…you could learn a lot from Google.

Chrome has added 30 million users in 14 months compared to Firefox which has added 30 million new users in the last 8 weeks. Firefox is a mainstream browser which means it has hundreds of millions of non-geek users. These “regular people” don’t spend 24/7 online.
