Google has released a "stable" Windows-only version of Chrome 3, and admitted it'll be "exceptionally disappointed" if it hasn't grabbed at least five per cent of the browser market by this time next year.

Chrome debuted a little over a year ago, but take-up hasn't been as swift as Google might’ve expected.

The browser currently pulls in less than three per cent of users worldwide, and trails a distant fourth place behind Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (67 per cent), Mozilla’s Firefox (23 per cent) and Apple’s Safari (four per cent).

It is no wonder that its Chrome engineering director Linus Upson confessed to Reuters that the company wants more than a measly 2.8 per cent share as it stands today.

"If at the two-year birthday we're not at least five per cent (market share), I will be exceptionally disappointed. And if at the three year birthday we're not at 10 per cent, I will be exceptionally disappointed," he said.
