Chrome did to Firefox what Firefox originally did to Netscape. I feel that Mozilla are missing what made Firefox a success originally - keeping it light, clean, extensible and default feature that block the crud on the web. Chrome on Windows and Mac is simply a lot faster and feels lighter than Firefox. I have managed to switch almost all of my non-tech friends from Firefox or IE to Chrome - and they have gone on to refer their non-tech friends to Chrome. The impression that I get from non-tech people is that after installing it the immediate reaction is that Chrome is a lot cleaner and faster. I expect based on my anecdotal evidence that we will see the Chrome market share rise amongst non-tech users in the next 6-12 months.
