Let's say for the sake of simplicity that there are 1 billion Internet users worldwide. (I believe this understates the population, but I can't find an authoritative stat quickly.

After the enormous effort expended getting to that record, both in a concerted registration, notification, and PR blitz? Factoring for the late start, relative to many non-US timezones?<p>I'm going with no -- more specifically, not even close.<p>1. <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=number+of+internet+users+worldwide" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/search?q=number+of+internet+users+worl...</a>
I like many others downloaded it to try it out. I'm back in Firefox now because there are simply too many lackings with Chrome, and I'm not even considering extensions yet.<p>So if I'm counted in those stats, I want out.
