If you didn't know that these are web browsers, don't you think that the title of this post could also be the title of some Xbox game or a sci-fi movie from the '70s or something?
Anyway with that said, I'm not quite sure how I feel about the points in this article. Why? Well, I've been a loyal Firefox user since I got a new computer about 4 years ago. It just blows away IE in every conceivable way. I love that, as the article describes, it's possibly the best example (outside of maybe Linux) of open-source software with a community ethic that really works. This is something we've been reading about a lot in LIS 2000.
However, when I tried out Chrome after downloading it by accident a while ago (apparently you can download it if you download Skype at the same time), I was astounded by how fast it was. Thus, I feel I'll be using Chrome in the future (at least somewhat). I also don't know if Chrome can capture the market share of Firefox or IE.
