​Adobe finds Chrome is popular everywhere, even on Apple's iPhone

​Adobe finds Chrome is popular everywhere, even on Apple's iPhone

Desktop or mobile, Adobe's numbers show that Google's Chrome web browser is becoming the most popular web browser on any and all platforms.

It's not news that Google's Chrome is now more popular than Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) web browser. What is news is that Adobe is reporting, in its Google I/O Digital Index Report, that Android and iPhone users are moving from native browsers to Chrome.

Adobe Digital Index (ADI) analysis has found that Chrome smartphone browsing is growing at a quicker pace than Safari smartphone browsing, This increase in Chrome use is taking place on both Android and iOS devices, which is surprising since Safari is the default browser on iOS devices.

"IPhone users have to go out of their way to download the Chrome browser," said Adam Lloyd, an ADI analyst, in a statement. "The fact that people are actually doing so is a sign that Chrome offers an experience consumers are interested in."
Specifically, ADI found from analyzing over 600-billion web site visits from January 2015 to March 2016, Chrome use grew 77 percent year-over-year on Android smartphones and by 20 percent on iPhones. 

In a survey, ADI discovered that the reason people were going out of their way to add Chrome to their devices was because it was seen as both easier to use and faster than the alternatives. The bottom line: "Regardless of device, users preferred Chrome over other browsing experiences. Millennials, specifically, sway heavily toward Chrome use, with 60 percent citing it as their preference." 

On desktops, Chrome now has nearly 50 percent of the browser market. That's an increase of 5 percent year over year. 

IE? It's down to a 24 percent share and continues to decline. IE has lost 7 percent since Edge was launched in May 2015. Edge has only seen slow adoption. ADI shows it as having a mere 4.5 percent market share. Desktop Safari remains stagnant at 10 percent.

10 app icon redesigns: The good, the bad and the ugly

10 app icon redesigns: The good, the bad and the ugly Redesigns happen. Whether a certain look has gone out of style, a brand's direction has changed, or it's just time for something fresh, many popular apps have changed the design of their icons. Instagram just changed its app icon, and while a new look was probably a good idea, many aren't happy about it.   nstagram is far from the first app to go through this. Sometimes it's a home run, but it's rare. More often a changed icon either takes a while to get used to or is just plain bad. Occasionally, the redesign lives in infamy.  May notable icon redesigns came after after Apple transitioned from iOS 6 to iOS 7, introducing a new design philosophy that departed from the skeuomorphism (think: leather texture and wood trim) of the past and embracing a more flat, simple aesthetic. Apps like Messages, Phone, Mail and Weather dropped the gloss in favor of minimalism, and plenty of third-party ap...

GE GAS18PSJSS Top Freezer Refrigerator with Autofill Pitcher review:

 GE GAS18PSJSS Top Freezer Refrigerator with Autofill Pitcher review:  Get automatic water pitcher fill-ups from this top-freezer fridge The Good The Autofill Pitcher is a unique feature that works well and seems practical for daily use -- a rarity with top freezers. Despite the plain-looking design, the fridge feels sturdy and well-constructed. The Bad Storage space is cramped to begin with, let alone with the Autofill Pitcher taking up space on the top shelf. Cooling performance was also pretty unexceptional. The Bottom Line The Autofill Pitcher is a borderline ingenious fridge feature, but the GAS18PSJSS isn't well-rounded enough to be a top pick. for price and more click here
