Looks yummy! (image taken from Chrome's blog post)
Google Chrome turned 1 yesterday on the 2nd September 2009. It’s been a year since the first launch of Google Chrome back in 2 September 2008. When Google Chrome was released, it was revolutionary. The web was filled with Google Chrome release news, comic strips, features’ rants, and “item list” posts such as mine (oops): 9 things to love and hate about Google Chrome (which went to Yahoo Buzz’s front page for a few hours – it only gave me 1000 visitors though, nothing to be excited about).
According to the Google Chrome’s blog post, in a year there have been:
- 51 developer releases, 21 beta releases or updates, and 15 stable releases or updates.
- Over 20,600 bugs filed (4367 of them were duplicates and 3505 have been fixed).
- 11 external committers and bug editors, 46 external code contributors.
- 50 Chrome Experiments.
- 26 posts on the Google Chrome blog.
- 12 Chrome Shorts, a collection of short films about Google Chrome.
- A sequel to the comic in Japanese.
There are a lot of competitions in the browser wars but according to my blog’s statistics in August 2009, 8.7% of my visitors were using Google Chrome when they browsed through this blog, which ranked #3:
There are still expectations and wish lists for Google Chrome, especially the extensions. Only time will tell whether Chrome can take over the browser’s market in the years to come. Can I have a slice of the Google Chrome’s Birthday Cake, please?

Well atleast majority of your traffic is NOT internet explorer. Try to lower it even more. =)
Wow that cake looks amazing (looks tasty, too)! It’s amazing that google chrome has managed to get to the 3rd position in just a year.

I read about this on techpp and it says there are 10,000 bugs yet to be solved. Chrome is definitely doing well but I still prefer firefox.
Same here, Rick. It’s just the add-ons that I love, nothing more. I still love Chrome for its speed and somehow feels “lightweight”
Happy birthday to Chrome:D

Yay! I haven’t used Google Chrome yet. It’s good it has come a long way and in progress.
In my stat, GC ranked third from top, too, behind FF and IE.

Lots of blogs have the same statistics too so hopefully it will inspire Google even further to enhance the browser
Happy Birthday to Google Chrome. I would love to see more and more extensions for Chrome.

Chrome has achieved lots of things in this one year..though it has long way to go..because its no way close to what Mozilla gives us. An addon directory will be something great…

Taking into consideration what does Google represint in the world, it was absolutly certain that Google Chrome will grow very fast. As you saw in the statistic is behind the two giants, so what to say…Anyway Happy Birdthday Google Chrome
