Chrome Time Machine: see the history of the world’s favourite browser
Google just announced its Chrome Time Machine, a website which takes you through the dynamic changes and developments of Chrome from 2008 up until 2012. And the browser has definitely grown and improved over the years since it was born on 2 September 2008.

What is the key to its success? Maybe it is because its uses everyday people and their powerful search engine data to determine what people want and what is needed to improve people’s experience on the net and in their everyday life.
It is true most people still use Internet Explorer, especially in emerging market countries or in older generations. IE is installed by default on Windows OS versions. Many people are just not computer literate enough to know why it would be best to move over to Chrome.
