Google Chrome already has a 3% market share

[reverie]

Konqueror is the grand daddy of Safari and Chrome. It is a Linux browser that is built on the KHTML engine. Apple took the KHTML engine and branched it out into their own WebKit engine (both engines are open source).

Now WebKit has become the rendering engine of choice for not just Apple, but also Google and companies like Nokia (S60) and Adobe (Air). It is arguably already more important on the web than Firefox' Gecko engine, even though the market shares don't show it yet. This for me is the biggest news out of Chrome release: It's a kick in the butt for Firefox.
