Google Chrome Gains Market Share While Others Lose

January 6, 2023 By Arnold Zafra

Although it’s only for February, still we could not discount the fact that Google is slowly gaining grounds in the web browser market with the continously improving Chrome browser. Want proof? The latest data collected by Net Applications, a web metrics company is showing that for Google Chrome is the only browser that made some gains in February.

Google Chrome registered an increase of 5.61% in market share from January’s 5.22%, up by 0.39%. Although it’s market share is still not big enough at 0.96% share, still this quite an achievement for Google Chrome, considering that it came late into the web browser party.

Even more interesting is the fact that all of its rival showed a slight decrease in market share during February. Internet Explorer, the top no. 1 browser to date got a decrease in market share of 0.54% from January with 61.58% share in February. Firefox, Safari and Opera also have their market share falling down to 0.20%, 0.08% and 0.03% respectively. Firefox market share is now at 24.23%, Safari at 4.45% and Opera at 2.35%.

Again, it’s a minimal increase and Google has a long way to go to make Chrome browser overtakes or even be at par with both IE and Firefox, but given Google’s marketing strategy plus its continuing effort to enhance Chrome browser, it will just be a matter of time before it becomes a powerful contender in the web browser wars.

Get a Life With Yoono

December 16, 2022 By Andrew G. R.

After a full year of private beta testing, Yoono is finally ready to roll out their interactive, widget-driven browser sidebar. According to the site:

“Bored of watching others’ lives and showing yours when nothing really happens? Want a true digital social life with live feedbacks and real sharing experience with your friends? Get a Life!”

While I’m not convinced Yoono with give me (or you) ‘a life,’ the free download does keep you tuned in and in control of your communication experience. At the very least, it’ll give your browser a high-tech look that will have your co-workers asking ‘what’s that?’

You can add Yoono to Firefox as an add-on.

The Website recently secured $4 million and is looking for more financing.
