Evaluation of Google Chrome browser

9 Sep 2008 — The launch of Google’s new Chrome browser at the beginning of this month has been widely anticipated, and our initial uptake stats indicate that this is going to be an extremely popular alternative to IE and Firefox on PCs running Windows Vista and XP. (Google has not, as yet, released versions for the Mac or Linux, though these are said to be coming downstream).

Browser interface for using Demographix surveys

Within days of its launch, Chrome was registering almost 1.5% on our stats for browsers being used to submit Demographix surveys – clearly users are eager to assess the advantages of the new browser.

The team at Demographix has also been hard at work evaluating Chrome – from both the perspective of survey respondents and the build and analysis interface for our users. Our initial tests show that Chrome sometimes gives noticeable speed improvements in rendering web pages, and that it has additional facilities for developers and the security-conscious.

But we’d like to know what our users and survey respondents think of Google Chrome, so we have built a feedback survey for you to give us some idea of how well you rate it. To take our survey click here.

Demographix is likely to add Google Chrome to the list of browsers we support. Currently we support Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari on the PC, and Firefox and Safari on the Mac.

You can download Google Chrome (BETA) for Windows here.
