Today is a momentous occasion! Google Chrome has officially tied Internet Explorer as the most popular browser of choice among people who visit this blog.

Browser stats for July 29, 2010

 
That’s actually pretty impressive. Firefox has a pretty strong showing too, despite the fact that people are beginning to blast it for being “behind the times” (read: not more like Chrome). As a Chrome user myself (at home, anyway), I can definitely see the benefits of Chrome– and it’s different. Google took the features of a typical web browser, pruned them down, revamped the UI, and made it all behave differently, and I like that they took that risk. Oh, and it’s very fast.

I still haven’t gotten a good chance to get really into the nitty-gritty of Chrome, but maybe in September I’ll have more time (ha!).
