Google Chrome’s Eyes Bigger Than its Stomach?

Google Chrome browser came out a little over a year ago, and has had pretty good success with its product so far. But, are Google’s expectations of Chrome bigger than what can happen? It is a big company, and a success in itself, but is the world ready to take on Chrome as the search engine?

Google has high hopes for its search engine and has some specific numbers in mind for it. For example, it currently has around 3% of the browser use globally, and it sees larger numbers in its near future. They would like to see that 5% of internet browsers out there were Chrome in one year’s time. Sure, a year is a long ways off in internet time, but it’s just around the corner in real time. A 2% increase may not seem like a whole lot, but that’s an awful lot of people to convince to change their current choice (which is probably IE or Firefox, since those are the big boys of browsers).

Google have been working hard to improve their baby, and have been doing a fine job. There are still a lot of adjustments and additions, but that’s with any project. Over time products get better, and have more options – at least this is how it’s supposed to work. They have an excellent team working on all of their projects there, and all of us little guys always have our eyes open for what’s happening. Time will certainly tell us if they have all their priorities in order.
