Chrome has given back much of those small gains to the leaders, Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox, according to Internet measurement firm Net Applications on September 25, 2008. Chrome shot up to 1% of the market but has since fallen to 0.77% as of last week.
Chrome gained market share within the first 24 hours of its release on Sept. 2, but its market share has slipped to 0.77 per cent.
Many users gave up using Chrome after first try, and then its market share started to slip continually, according to Vince Vizzaccaro, executive vice president of marketing and strategic alliances at Internet measurement firm Net Applications.
Last week, the market shares of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla's Firefox, and Apple's Safari are 71.48 per cent, 19.42 per cent and 6.73 per cent respectively, according to statistics from Net Applications.
Net Applications stated that the slipping market share of Chrome was that Google has collected its users information by Chrome. Chrome's slow slide may be because of Google's low-key promotion, Vizzaccaro said.
Analysts said that Google was not interested in causing a new round of browser market share battle, and Chrome just represented its foreground software of network application.
