There was a lot of talk today about Chrome’s market share. It started with a curious editor at Cnet:
So I persuaded CNET’s tech guys to give a window on what’s going on here at CNET News. The result surprised me: 3.6 percent of those visiting the site in October used Chrome, up from 1 percent [...]
Since the previous one proved to be pretty popular, I figured I’d create an updated build of Chrome (or more precisely: a build of the Chromium TestShell) for MacOS X. This is based on revision 5273 of the code.
