Chrome Is A Threat To Firefox?

Posted by on Nov 28, 2008 | 5 Comments

One has to wonder – is Chrome really that big of a threat to the well entrenched Firefox browser? At this stage, perhaps not. But given the right kind of promotion for those who are more interested in speed over how many add-ons can be used with the browser, I see Chrome being in a position to gain a significant market share from Firefox.

Perhaps even more significantly, is if Chrome is being used with various web based applications that allow those applications to run smoother than they ever could with Firefox. Hardly a new concept, but I have yet to see Chrome pushed enough in this direction.

Will Chrome become a dominant browser in the browser wars? Not too likely, however this does not mean it cannot become a dominant tool in the push for more web based applications being used with the browser. So what do you think? Hit the comments, let us know what you think about Chrome.

    I love Chrome. It is my primary browser now. Only reason I still occasionally use IE is because of some compatibility issues that still have not been worked out with Chrome.

    I like Chrome and I may begin using it again, but I still love Firefox. The themes are great and so is the interface.

    Chrome would be alright if you could install it with SP3, which you can’t

    Google analytics anyone?? Chrome could be evil. I won’t know until a Linux or OS X version is released.

    I just downloaded Chrome. I must say, it takes some getting us too. It is not my primary browser yet, but once I get use too it — it seem to be a great browser I will use.
