It will be able to take a significant slice of the browsers market pie, but will beat Firefox or IE? Well, it is definitely a yummy option for the hundreds of millions of Google users who will be prompted to install it through a web search results page, or any of the several Google products. This will of course impact Firefox and IE, but then users will really decide that. Will they compete? Will they merge? Will Firefox fade like Netscape did? Or will users simply reject chrome?

The web only benefits of more and more competition but my concern in the long term is: where do Google stop?
