Hmmm...

One thing I have noticed is that all of the people
putting out articles like this are stretching very far
to find something wrong with Chrome. I think the news
media is anti-Google, not everyone else.

You say that Firefox has had problems getting over 20%
usage - I hate to tell you, but a few years back, IE
had 96-98% usage... now they are at 60-70%? Sounds
like they are doing a good job of displacing IE usage.

I think Chrome stands a better chance of knocking IE
off of it's high horse because of one thing - Google.
The average non-techie can't tell you what in the
world "Firefox" is. But.. they sure know what Google
is. The non-techie people out there are probably a
lot more willing to trust Google than Mozilla.

As for the Google backlash - it exists - but mostly in
the techie world. Again, the average consumer who
doesn't live and breathe computers thinks that Google
is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

As for the stability of Chrome. I have to tell you,
I've been using it as my primary browser since it was
released yesterday - I haven't had a single crash. In
fact, I haven't had a single issue. I haven't had a
page yet not to display correctly - I'm sure I will
run across one - but haven't yet. For those of you
that are having crashes, you may want to ask yourself
if it had something to do with that crack you
downloaded off of torrent!

A few posts back, someone was whining about not have a
File - Edit menu. I'm sorry, but I enjoy not having
it... I would much rather have the screen real estate.
Its people like that who don't want to ever change
that hold back innovation.

I give Chrome an A+ so far... the web development
inspector is pretty good, it may not be Firebug... but
it's workable. The new screen real estate is amazing
- not having all of that extra garbage at the top
makes a world of difference... let's face it, who
needs the title bar?
