> "People are leaving Firefox because it's not > improving, and because it is actually getting > worse in many ways for many people" If we're pointing to market share as a barometer of browser quality, then I guess Internet Explorer is the best browser in the world. There is no doubt some people are leaving FF for Chrome because of real/perceived issues with the tech itself. A significant number of people are discovering Chrome directly or indirectly because of: 1. Google advertises Chrome to its users on its search portal and its other massively popular web properties. 2. Google's massive presence in the tech press 3. Google's advertising for Chromebook devices 4. Indirectly, though the absolutely massive multinational ad campaign for Android devices 5. The hundreds of millions of people that use Chrome on their Android devices 6. Chrome's integration with the rest of Google's ecosystem 7. Google's status as a household world at this point. ("Let's see, I've heard of Google. This software must be okay. I do not know what a 'Mozilla' is and my daughter told me not to install things from companies I've never heard of.") All extremely significant factors in the browser market share shift, and all avenues that Mozilla cannot rely on. And despite all of this, there are signs that Chrome's market share may have reached a plateau, with FF actually showing a small gain against Chrome this month: http://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/05/01/ie10-doubles-market-share-thanks-to-windows-7-debut-pushing-ie9-below-20-as-firefox-gains-and-chrome-loses/ http://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/05/01/ie10-doubles-market...
