  1. Comment - Google Analytics starts tracking Chrome, with intriguing results

    (Sep 5, 2008 - 4:25 PM)

    @afewtips.com:

    Margin for error only applies to a sampling. BetaNews's tracking results are the entire population - no sample error. Margin of error *might* apply to the Net Apps numbers, depending on how they calculate them, though with such large sample collection there's not likely to be much error shift.

    In a related news item who's URL I don't have handy, the claim was made that Chrome eroded FF, not IE usage based on the Net Apps numbers. This makes perfect sense -- if you're not technically minded enough to try FF, why would you get a blatently beta software such as Chrome? Obviously the Chrome Bump is a boatload of techies trying out a new goodie. I predict there will be little overall change in adoption rates until/if the most useful FF plugins are ported to Chrome.
