Google’s Chrome browser cracks the 15 percent market for its third birthday. Net Applications is now counting mobile device browser share separately, with Apple Safari leading. Google’s Chrome browser hit 15.5 percent market share through August, jumping more than a whole percentage point from the 14.3 percent the Web surfing software hit in July. Chrome just turned three years old Sept. 1 and it’s been a remarkable rise to this point, with the browser gaining share nearly every month for the last two years. What’s responsible for the latest share gains? It’s tough to pinpoint, but it could be an uptick of Chromebook sales from Samsung and Acer. It could also be the rapid, six-week release cycles that pump out new features, such as voice recognition capabilities.
