I'm sorry but those few numbers really do not convey any deeper meaning.

First of all, there is not enough data to prove that the shown variations are greater than the standard variation of browser usage.

Then, Chrome usage has not settled yet. I mean, who is going to give Chrome a try? My mom, who is using the-installed-browser, and is completely oblivious about alternatives? Or the Firefox 3 users, who probably tried Safari, IE8 and Opera, too? Every new browser will trigger an initial hit with those people just because of their curiosity. Then again, any new gadget will, so what's the point?

Let's wait some weeks (or months) and review the browser adoption then.




Absolutely correct - a two day sample has no statistical significance whatsoever. All it can show at this stage is that some folks are running Chrome - wee that is hardly a surprise given the level of interest from software development professionals.
