Chrome became world's number one browser for a day
Google's Chrome narrowly became the world's top internet browser for the first time on Sunday 18 March 2012, according to StatCounter, the independent website analytics company.

The firm's research arm StatCounter Global Stats reports that Chrome topped the polls in India, Russia and Brazil, all of which contributed to it becoming the number one browser for that day on a global basis.

According to Aodhan Cullen, CEO, StatCounter, although it is only one day, but still this is a milestone. He added that Chrome still faces a battle to unseat its main rivals including IE and Firefox in many regions. Chrome remains in 2nd or 3rd place in China, United States and Germany, for example.

Whether Chrome can take the lead in the browser wars in the long term remains to be seen, however the trend towards Chrome usage at weekends is undeniable, reports StatCounter. At weekends, when people are free to choose what browser to use, many of them are selecting Chrome in preference to IE.

Voice Search: Officially Launched on Chrome!
Great news for those who are too lazy to type and search! That’s because Google has officially launched its newest Voice Search tool for Chrome. This new feature is now live in the US and will soon be rolled on the other parts of the world.

What does it do? Well, the feature “speaks” for itself. And did I say speak? Yes, quite indeed. But if you still haven’t noticed, just go to Google Search and find that icon that looks like a microphone. Click on it and utter a particular word that you may want to look for. It’s quite accurate though. But it does have some bit of glitches on weird names and terms.

As for those who haven’t got the feature yet, just be patient for it will take a few days before the Voice Search will finally be available to everyone. And before I forget, it’s currently available in US English so don’t try to search for some foreign words.

Not a Chrome lover? No worries. For Google is planning to release this feature on IE and FF as well.

And if you want a sneak peek, just hit on that play button below.
