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.
