Chrome Aims for 10% Market Share, Mac Release by the End of 2009
Just a year ago, Google had released the very first build of Chrome web browser which already has ~3.5% market share worldwide.
During the Chrome 3 stable release for PCs, Google Product Management VP Sundar Pichai has confirmed that the Mac version of Chrome should be ready by the end of this year.
Also, Google Chrome Engineering Director Linus Upson said:
“If at the two-year birthday we’re not at least 5 percent (market share), I will be exceptionally disappointed. And if at the three year birthday we’re not at 10 percent, I will be exceptionally disappointed,”

Hand in there then. At the two-year birthday you may be at 5 percent market share. But you won’t reach the 10% in three years of existence, no way.
I mean, unless things change completely, but it’s going to get tougher and tougher from now on.
I hope he get an exceptional disappointment and discontinue Chrome and all Google products! haha ^^
This browser is useless! =X
chrome will easily get 10% if they manage to make firefox extensions compatible with chrome. stealing market share from minor players like opera, and from majors like ff and ie (however with ie8 being rather good, it is a proces that will slow down), there is a place for chrome with 10%
