Google Chrome’s the pirate now : Ready to raid IE and Firefox

It won’t be right to call Google just “lucky”, because wherever they step in they rule the market. This is functional with the browsers too, and now Google Chrome has a market share 6.73%. It’s not a huge number but the dazzling part stays that Chrome is the youngest browser of all and it’s also ahead of Safari, Apple’s Native browser for Mac’s with 3% more.

The adoption rate has been rapid, in about 18 months they had some millions of users. Thanks to Google and it’s delicious marketing campaigns and also, the product itself. Chrome is indeed the fastest browsers on earth and if you’ve seen those speed test ads, you probably know Chrome loads about 2700 frames a second.

I’ve shifted to Chrome few months back, and ever since and I never looked back or needed any other browser. It’s fast, fun and looks great. That’s not just me but a large number of Chrome user base that says and numbers are going to add up to the base soon as Firefox and IE users are migrating to Chrome at a perplexing rate.

Breaking : Mozilla (Firefox?) app for iPhone to come up within few weeks

ff_on_iphoneAre you bored with Safari on your iPhone? Want a Change? Perhaps new broswer or new features?? In  the coming weeks, you might be able to get your hands on the Mozilla (Maybe Firefox) app for iPhone!

Om Malik when interviewing the CEO of Mozilla found out that, a iPhone app for Mozilla may be on it’s way to the App store soon!

Another interesting aspect of it would be the weave feature. It’s like typing the URL in the address bar and getting all the browser history from all the devices and if this is not enough, you can save your browser preferences on Mozilla’s server so that you can access them form any device easily.

When Om asked them about this feature being integrated with the iPhone app, they remained silent but you see, silence answers lots of questions ;)

But what will happen, if Apple just decides to not, approve the app? Everything’s crushed :( and history would be repeating itself just like what happened with Google Voice, but yeah it did come up back with a Online version of the app though.

Also : Do read the comment by Sebastien below which clears out many things.

Update : There is some confusion, as to if the app is a browser or not. Currently we cannot confirm, anything, but will keep you posted as soon as we receive information.
