Chrome steals Firefox users
With Google Chrome having arrived on the scene, it's interesting to see how much traffic it's getting and from which web browers people are migrating.
Looking at web statistics on this site over the last 3 days, 0.6% of visitors are using Google Chrome, and Google's gain has largely been Firefox (0.4% down) and Opera's losses (0.1% down). This is not surprising, as one would expect the early adopters of Google Chrome to be your more technologically-savvy users (I'm looking at you, Vincent) who were previously using Firefox and Opera. Further down the line, I suspect that Google Chrome will start making inroads into Internet Explorer users, their true target market.
