Having just switched from Firefox to Chrome myself, this makes me happy. Chrome is definitely one of the best browsers I have ever used/developed and debugged websites in. Best of all, no memory leaks either.



I'm mostly happy about people switching from IE (particularly its older incarnations) to anywhere, than from Firefox to Chrome ;-)


Concur that a switch to either Chrome or Firefox is a win. Both have been competing with each other after Chrome raised the bar. In either case winner is the user.

Personally, I have been using Chrome and Firefox both. Firefox being the primary browser for browsing the wild web and Chrome for development and for using Google's services.


I'm a diehard Firefox user, but I'm very glad that Chrome is there to offer some real competition.

Back in the Firefox 3.6 days, Mozilla was beginning to get a little lazy, somewhat like Microsoft in the IE6 days. Then Chrome came along and Mozilla realized that they had to compete. It took them a couple of years to catch up, but now Firefox is a worthy competitor to Chrome and vice versa.
