Chrome +1, Firefox -1, IE undisturbed

See, I called this one first.

The reasoning is this: Firfeox market share comes from its usefulness and its usability. It’s a good browser. IE’s market share come from the fact that it comes with Windows and a lot of corporate money has been invested on the browser. Ergo, when a really good third browser shows up like Chrome, IE will not be affected but FF will be. As Google Chrome gets better and more third-party applications is made available (I’ll switch immediately once they get weather reports and RSS feeds), the appeal of FF will wane.

For Techcrunch, Firefox is undisturbed. IE is -1.

I read an article that Google Chrome EULA claims ownership of everything you create on Google Chrome such as blog posts, here’s an explanation from their terms and condition:

11. Content license from you

You agree that this license shall permit Google to take these actions.

11.4 You confirm and warrant to Google that you have all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the above license.

Kinda creepy! Cheese!

Once the novelty wears off, it’s rating is not gonna last- most choose firefox for it’s addons and IE for simplicity, other (opera, netscape, etc) browser’s just minority, chrome falls with them, there’s nothing really jaw dropping with it, really.
