A first look at Google Chrome
Our quick take on Chrome (Google’s new web browser) is: hold on to your pants.
We do not anticipate any sudden and significant migration of users to Chrome for the near to mid-term (12 months). It seems to be a good browser, but significant improvements are behind the screen and not obvious to the layman.
In fact, regular users of Internet Explorer, Firefox and other browsers may find few compelling reasons to make the switch. Frankly, if you are not a techie or novelty junkie, Chrome can wait.
Most users should still be using Internet Explorer, which is the default in Windows PCs. A growing minority will still use Firefox (less than 20%). Of immediate concern would be compatibility issues for your websites. Chrome does not pose a significant issue, as it is web standards compliant.
Nonetheless, Convertium will be assessing clients’ websites on Chrome over the next couple of weeks. If there is any compatibility issues, our clients will be alerted. If you have any questions on Chrome, please feel free to contact us.
