At least Chrome is constantly updated, is fast, and most parts of it (certainly the important parts) are open source... If there's going to be a browser monoculture, Chrome seems like the best option at the moment...

"If there's going to be a browser monoculture, IE6 seems like the best option at the moment." Yay for repeating the history?

  Key difference - Chrome updates itself (on Windows and Chrome OS, Linux package managers update it, not sure about OSX). You'd have to do something very, very wrong to wind up with a version of Chrome as outdated as IE6 had become...

You mean Firefox is the best option. All of it is open source.

  Well... so is the Chromium project.

    But practically no one uses Chromium; they're using Chrome, which has significant proprietary components.

  Except it has a slow JavaScript engine, crashes on certain pages, and just annoys me all around. I love open source, but I like things that work too.
