Reflections on Google Chrome

The new Google Chrome browser, which quickly gained a popularity among bloggers and media specialists in the ICT sector, has been disappearing little by little and no longer receives as much coverage as a month ago. In part because the initial curiosity about its features have been met and because Google has not done anything to keep alive the flame of interest with frequent releases or updates on the contrary it seems that Google would like to bring back to Chrome in the shade to polish the “small details” for which has been criticized.

Until now, users of Linux and OS X (Apple) are waiting for a native version of Chrome was announced as “soon” after a month and Google has remained silent in every language (literally). Although it is possible to run the version of Chrome on Linux as on OS X through Windows emulators, as there is a native version to check all the power and versatility anunción Google during the launch.

In an article I found on Gigaom, were the same questions that I am making now about Google Chrome, and while statistics show them where Google Chrome represents 5.59% of traffic being the fourth most used browser in the case of this blog and some others which I have control over, the presence of Google Chrome in the last week was zero, ie nobody has visited my blogs Chrome over the last seven days.

When Google Chrome saw the emergence of Google could be the OS, or at least the first step of the way leading to it. But of course the inaction of Google to promote the browser, the strategy that the Google browser will not clear yet. How this strategy has affected the present financial crisis and the need to cut advertising budgets and Research, Desarrllo is another factor to consider when observing the evolution of Chrome in the last month.

But Google’s incursion into the segment of the browser is not running behind and may have two similar historical transition from one part of the Rubicon by Caesar’s legions who initiated the second Roman civil war against Pompey, who finally made Caesar as the owner of Rome, or on the contrary, Google will foray into this sector could be the browser equivalent of Napoleon’s Russian campaign in 1812, which came after the fall of the empire napleónico. Chrome will be a Rubicon or Waterloo for Google, only time will tell.
