&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/sites/thestandard.com/files/u98/gChromeBrowser.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Google Chrome browser&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;204&quot; hspace=&quot;10&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; /&gt;Google has launched a brand new open source browser named &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/chrome&quot;&gt;Chrome&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first day after the launch, Google is said to have &lt;a href=&quot;http://marketshare.hitslink.com/&quot;&gt;1% market share&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By day two, Chrome is &lt;a href=&quot;http://getclicky.com/global-marketshare-statistics&quot;&gt;given 3%&lt;/a&gt;.   &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Will Google Chrome continue to grow at that pace? Will Chrome users switch back to Firefox or IE?  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Prediction:&lt;/b&gt; Google Chrome will have 5% market share by the end of 2008.  Bets will close on December 31, 2008 while judgment will occur no later than when the December 2008 metric is reported.  Judgment will be made based on &lt;a href=&quot;http://marketshare.hitslink.com/&quot; title=&quot;http://marketshare.hitslink.com/&quot;&gt;http://marketshare.hitslink.com/&lt;/a&gt; reporting for Google Chrome. The number used will be the last % available for the month.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let the community decide. Place your bets!&lt;/p&gt;
