Does Google Chrome make money?

\

## Answers

### Answer by Harshal Vispute

Since its debut in **December 2008**,**[Google Chrome's](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94669/what-are-two-examples-of-google-chrome)** market share has steadily climbed to about **70%**, while **Firefox's market share** has decreased to around **8%**. \
It's far more difficult to examine **[Google Chrome's](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94669/what-are-two-examples-of-google-chrome)** revenue because Google doesn't provide revenue and expenses for all of its services. This means that, while **[Google](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94669/what-are-two-examples-of-google-chrome)** boasts that the browser is 'an extremely profitable product,' the general public has no way of verifying this claim. \
**Advertisers** pay **Google money**, but instead of paying out search royalty to rival browsers, the money goes to Google's Chrome division. Google makes money in a variety of ways. For instance, **[Google Chrome](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94669/what-are-two-examples-of-google-chrome)** customers are more likely to use related services like **Gmail, Google Apps, and Google Docs**, which makes them even more valuable because the company's services are so closely integrated. Each time a product is used, page views and ad revenue increase. \
Second, **Google's AdSense** program is keen on your information. Chrome collects information from users and utilizes it to better its **AdSense program**. More data allows for a better understanding of each user's marketing profile and better targeting of adverts to potential customers. **AdSense** is able to charge a higher premium for advertising than its competitors by offering more effective ads.
