Number Crunch: Chrome

In the world of web browsers, it reigns supreme. Many of us rely on it for work and play. 

But how much do you really know about Google Chrome? Read on to find out more about Google's popular web browser.

Small beginnings

Chrome was a long time coming to the Google stable. In fact, Google CEO Eric Schmidt was opposed to Google developing its own browser for years. 

However after Google poached developers from rival Mozilla to build a Chrome prototype, Schmidt changed his mind and Chrome was released in September 2008 in 43 languages.

Browsing bruisers

In November 2011 Chrome overtook Mozilla and today is the most popular browser on the planet, accounting for almost 35% of all internet searches.

This places Chrome ahead of Internet Explorer (33%) and Mozilla (22%)

In fact, Chrome is responsible for directing over 14% of the entire internet's traffic.

Global appeal

On a typical day Chrome is used by 43% of internet users worldwide.

Interestingly, only 34% of US users access Chrome, the lowest relative percentage in the world.

Market vision

Chrome has a range of extensions for marketers. Some of our favourites include Boomerang, Yesware and Rapportive.

Pop culture

Chrome remains a unique reflection of our interests and times.

In 2014 some of the most-searched for terms on Chrome included Robin Williams, World Cup, Ebola, ISIS and Flappy Bird.
