Is Chrome the new IE? – Magic Lasso Adblock
www.magiclasso.co
With a global browser market share of over 65%, Google’s Chrome has become the target of criticism and disdain, much like Microsoft’s Internet Explorer once was. Is Chrome facing similar challenges to Internet Explorer (IE) and will this lead to its downfall?

Bloated and complacent, Chrome might be on the path to playing the same role as IE was playing 15 years ago, shunned by developers and technologically inferior to other browsers.

    I’m hoping this bit is what they meant

    Maybe a collection of browsers, all supporting open web standards, with substantial, though not dominant marketshare is the answer.

    Instead of having chrome replaced by some other browser and the cycle repeating, the author might want a fair balance of different browsers eating away at their market share?

    I will still recommend Firefox to regular users, and Zen for users that want something new/different (Arc users for example)
