Google's Chrome browser was launched last month in a blaze of publicity, but seems to have attracted little support.
Web analytics firm GetClicky reported that Chrome rapidly picked up three per cent of browser views in the week following its launch, but that usage is now down to half that figure.
Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox both saw use fall in the first week after Chrome's launch, but this proved short-lived. The two browsers now have market share of around 60 per cent and 30 per cent respectively.
Apple's Safari currently has around five per cent of the market, and Opera has 1.5 per cent, according to GetClicky.
The figures are backed up by vnunet.com's own research, and suggest that Google has a long way to go before it can take on IE and Firefox, even with help from promised versions built for Apple and Linux users.
