Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox lost some users with the debut of Google's Chrome browser, but they are returning. Just three weeks after its launch, Chrome is seen as not so polished and is losing some users, according to Net Applications, an Internet tracking company.

Net Applications tracked 40,000 sites and found that Chrome made up .77 percent of the browsers visiting the sites, down from .85 percent last week. And down substantially from 1.4 percent in the first week of its release, according to Nielsen Online.
A report Tuesday from Net Applications showed Internet Explorer commanded 72.15 percent of the browser market, Firefox followed with nearly 20 percent, and Apple's Safari was in third with 6.37 percent. Both Firefox and Internet Explorer regained lost users last week, according to Net Applications. Internet Explorer's users increased .24 percentage points while Firefox regained .06 points.
Many tried it. But Firefox users saw little reason to switch. Especially after seeing how there are no add-ons for Chrome.
Um maybe because it's a BETA? I'm sure when it gets out of beta, as long as some of it's issues are fixed many people will switch. Also people go back to an old browser because it's habit. As far as FF add-ons? I don't get that. I'm pretty sure that's why FF gets a reputation of being a memory hog. I need a web browser for the purpose of allowing me to browse the web. I don't need it to serve me tea and give me a handjob.

I've tried safari and it's fast, there's alot to like about it. Now if you could change the grey on grey skin I'd might use it more. Also if the google toolbar would work with too hat would be better.

I have add-ons for things like weather updates, blocking ads, rendering a page with IE in a separate tab, etc.

The only thing out of that list I wouldn't mind having integrated into the browser is the ad-blocking, it's nice to be able to pick and choose what you want a program to do.
