Google Chrome runs quickly: already more than 3% of the market share
Browser Statistics Month by Month
| 2008 | IE7 | IE6 | Chrome | Fx | Moz | S | O |
| September | 26.3% | 22.3% | 3.1% | 42.6% | 0.5% | 2.7% | 2.0% |
Google Chrome has been launched less than a month ago and has already reached 3.1% of the market share (source: w3school accessed on the 4th of October 2008).
If this trend continues (and probably it will), in few months Google Chrome will be the leader of the market! 
I bet on it!
Only a recommedation:
People still complaining about the missing google toolbar. Google Chrome is the best browser I have ever tried: fast, clear, and usable. But please Google Guys… the toolbar is absolutely needed. And I really hope you will come up with a wonderful original Google Chrome Toolbar… something like the one I hypothesized in one of my previous post: Google Chrome in the 3 most used browsers: how long will it take?
Or maybe something better, something that we human beings can’t neither imagine! 
Ciao

And now is time to include Google Chrome as well! I am pretty sure Google Chrome is going to be the first of the class very soon! It is just great: very wide screen, clear, easy to use and very fast! The only negative point (and people are complaining about it) is the google toolbar! Unfortunately Google Chrome was released without Google Toolbar.
I guess GG (Google Guys) are doing a great job around the google toolbar for Google Chrome. I think of something like… fading effect (same effect than the property hover), with a non invasive Google Toolbar that appears and disappears when the mouse ‘hover‘ the Google Toolbar button, and a fading drop down menu (including page rank, translator button, autofill and so on) will gently appear.
This will be also a good additional point to immediately gain points over the competitors.
How long will Google Chrome need to be in the 3 most used browsers?

About Google Chrome
Hey guys, I haven’t had enough time yet to experience google chrome, but in my brief experience, I definitely say: it is just great!
Very quick, “USABLE”, and totally clear! A wonderful pleasant experience!
It seems to be a mix between Opera, Firefox with the additional magic potential of Google.
I will spend more time on it in the coming days…
Ciao!
Already love Google Chrome :)
