Google Plans to Cover Another 10% Market Through Chrome OS

In August 2010, Google Chrome had a market share of 8%, which is a significant improvement as compared to the month of July. Back in July, it was only 7.1 percent. This data was reported by the Net Applications research firm.

The rest of the market share is roughly covered up by Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and some small time browsers that are rarely used. Meanwhile, Google has got another gig up its sleeve. This one is the highly anticipated Chrome OS and it is imminent that the company is planning to cover another 10% market through the new operating system.

The only reason that Microsoft Internet Explorer has a market share is because some users don’t even bother to install a new browser. They keep on using the default browser (internet explorer) that comes with their copy of Windows.

It is essential for developers to know that the upcoming version of Chrome OS will have Chrome browser as a totally unique platform. From the very beginning, Google made it clear that Chrome will be a cloud based OS; so naturally, we can expect something out of the blue for Chrome browser as well.

If you haven’t been into the Chrome browser, you better get used to it. Because if you’re planning on using the Chrome OS, you’d have no other choice but to use Chrome browser as the only browser that your OS will support.
