Chrome Snags 1 Percent of Market on Day One

One percent rarely means much in the world of statistics, but when a new product manages to grab one percent of a huge, fiercely competitive marketplace in just one day, it certainly means something. And if the numbers are to be believed, Google Chrome managed to do just that when it launched on Tuesday.

According to StatCounter, which has access to data from over 1.9 million Webmasters, Google Chrome hits accounted for an entire one percent of traffic on Sept. 3, the day after its launch, indicating a stunning first-day market penetration. The data came from a sample size of 18.5 million page views.
