Chrome is dead?

RIP Chrome

Is Google’s Chrome browser “flat-lining” as John Brandon at Computerworld says or have things simply calmed down to normal while Google works quietly at just following their own master plan? 

What used to be a flash of new articles, posts and reports about Chrome each day have significantly faded off in the last few weeks, but as posted yesterday, visits to www.chromevoice.com continue to grow and so do the percentage of visitors using Chrome. 

After looking and watching and looking some more, I think Google continues to operate in their own world, simply following their long term plan, one that has clear objectives, yet leaves the implementation up to the really smart people on the Chrome team (and of course open source contributors). 

Remember the announcement of Android last year? After a bit the hype died down, but Google kept working on it and now it’s going to be released next month. 

Pundits who call Chrome to be dying now will surely be eating crow come this time next year. 

Wanna bet?
