Google chrome might be fast but unstable(crushed while reading this topic). It uses whole lot of RAM and goes on increasing the uses with every added tab. Firefox is also damn memory eater it was stable with 2.0.0.x versions but since 3.0 it uses High CPU at times. I don’t think chrome will be able to replace the Opera that soon atleast on my desktop. High resource uses of fx 3 has forced to use Opera as my 1imery browser.(I used fx as default since version 2.0.0.5). So I’m with Opera and eyeing on Chrome development.

RE: “Internet Explorer isn’t the most used browser because it’s good; [it] just happens to be pre-installed on most Windows PCs.” I think this makes the Firefox adoption numbers even more astounding. That’s a HUGE advantage that Internet Explorer has in terms of maintaining its footprint, and yet (even my 60 year old father!) for most of us the *very first* thing we do after buying a new pc is to go download Firefox, set it as the default browser, and then disable as many IE functions as we can find in the registry. IE is just among the other crapware that the PC manufacturers suffer upon their “valued” customers. And I would imagine that most of its users are the same type that thought AOL *was* the internet … and only recently discovered there was a way to get out of that mousetrap. Too bad PCs don’t come pre-loaded with ALL of the browser options and present the user with some intuitive pros / cons overviews of each (and allow them to select them at set-up).
