"...their client base is certainly not statistically relevant to the Internet as a whole. But"

2% market share claimed in 1 day? Thats a great start I say.

Sorry, buy I find this statistic extremely hard to believe.

Let's say for the sake of simplicity that there are 1 billion Internet users worldwide. (I believe this understates the population, but I can't find an authoritative stat quickly. [1]) Did 20 million of them successfully download, install, and start using Google's experimental, heretofore secret, Windows-only browser today? 12 million more people than downloaded and installed Firefox 3 on its record-setting day? After the enormous effort expended getting to that record, both in a concerted registration, notification, and PR blitz? Factoring for the late start, relative to many non-US timezones?

I'm going with no -- more specifically, not even close.

how many people do you think see google's homepage everyday?

and just before clicking search they see this ...

New! Download Chrome (BETA) - the new browser from Google

i guess lots of them clicked it.

No doubt putting it on Google.com would have a huge impact. Did they do this? I didn't see such a link on Google.com yesterday or today, logged in or logged out.

I like many others downloaded it to try it out. I'm back in Firefox now because there are simply too many lackings with Chrome, and I'm not even considering extensions yet.

So if I'm counted in those stats, I want out.

I'm in the same camp. Chrome really needs a decent ad and popup blocker. I think I've grown spoilt on firefox.
