Google Chrome Statistics and User Count (2023)

Google Chrome is a popular web browser developed by Google. The browser was first released in 2008 and has since become one of the most widely used web browsers in the world, with a market share of over 60%.

Google Chrome is known for its speed, stability, and security features. The browser uses a multi-process architecture that separates each tab and plugin into a separate process, which helps to prevent crashes and improves overall performance. Chrome also includes a built-in sandboxing feature that isolates each tab and plugin from the rest of the system, which helps to prevent malware and other security threats.

Chrome supports a wide range of web standards and technologies, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The browser also supports a wide range of extensions and plugins, which can be used to add additional functionality and customization options.

Google Chrome is available for free on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android platforms. The browser is updated regularly with new features and security patches, and it is widely regarded as one of the best web browsers available today.
