Google Chrome has surpassed the 1 billion active users on mobile devices

Today, the company has published statistics on active users of the Chrome browser on mobile devices, timed to the release of version 50 of the Chrome browser on computers. On mobile devices, the company released fewer versions of Chrome due to the release of the browser only in June 2012 for Android and iOS.



Regarding the number of Chrome users on iOS and Android, Google is still not ready to provide such information. Of course, the main audience of Chrome are users of devices with Android, so it is unlikely to be a mistake to say that the proportion of users of the browser on iOS remains insignificant.

Along with statistics on 1 billion users, the company published an infographic with some interesting facts regarding the use of the Chrome mobile version:

• 771 billion pages loaded monthly;
• 500 billion characters per month are saved due to the completion of search queries;
• 2 million Gbytes of data per month saved by the built-in traffic compression feature in Chrome;
• 3.6 billion pages automatically translated monthly into the users native language;
• 9.1 billion forms and passwords are automatically filled every month;
• 145 million times Chrome has protected users from visiting malicious sites;
• $ 2.5 million was paid to specialists for vulnerabilities found in Chrome.

As for the total number of users, Chrome overcame the mark of 1 billion active users back in May 2015. Then the company announced this at the Google I / O conference. It is likely that in the near future on Google I / O 2016, which will be held at the end of May this year, the company will report the total number of Chrome users on all platforms.



Recently, the rate of adaptation of Chrome has significantly decreased due to deteriorated user experience associated with a large number of not very successful innovations against the background of competitors. Even so, Chrome remains one of the most popular browsers on the market.
