Google says there are now 2 billion active Chrome installs

[Batu69]

 

Google is hosting its Chrome Dev Summit today. There hasn’t been a lot of news out of the event, but one number that stood out in today’s keynote by Chrome Engineering VP Darin Fisher was that there are now 2 billion Chrome installs in active use across desktop and mobile.

 

This is the first time Google has shared this number. Sadly, Google didn’t announce any new user numbers for Chrome today. The latest stat for active Chrome users remains at 1 billion — a number Google shared in April. While this number is surely higher today than it was six months ago, the company decided to focus on the number of active browser install today.

 

“I wanted to make this point that there are a lot of Chrome browsers out there,” Fisher said. “What’s exciting about this to you all is that when you think about building for the web, there’ a lot of browsers out there that implement the latest web standards — that implement the latest and greatest web features.”

 

As Google likes to say, it now has seven products with more than a billion users (Gmail, Android, Chrome, Maps, Search, Youtube and the Google Play store).

Internet Traffic From Mobile Browsers Exceeds Desktop Traffic for the First Time

Google has already noticed the trend

Google noticed this market shift a few years back when it began encouraging website owners to implement mobile versions of their sites, initially giving these sites a boost in its search engine rankings.

Last week, Google announced massive changes to its search engine, which from now on will be looking at a site's mobile version first, before looking at the desktop variant.

If you're in the market looking for a web design company, it's probably a good idea to select one that has expertise in building responsive websites.
