#12Something that this highlights: I really like it how I usually have no idea of what version of Chrome I am running.
Chrome updates itself automatically, so you probably running the latest version.

#13Chrome has had the most popular unique user agent string for a while. The latest version of Chrome with Windows XP is always first, followed by Chrome on Windows 7.

#14The real news is IE share, worldwide, is now only 40%!
So we're trading a browser from a company with a desktop monopoly for one with a web search monopoly. I'm trying to get excited here. It's a shame Firefox couldn't win, but it's tough going up against a determined multibillion dollar behemoth, especially when they get to leverage their monopoly (sound familiar?) by advertising on one of the world's most popular webpages, google.com, for free.

I too would have liked Firefox to win but I think it's nothing to do with advertising the reason for Firefox declining and it's simply that Firefox has lost it's mojo. From version 4 they killed their browser.
They may have redeemed themselves recently but I wouldn't care to look, Chrome picked up where Mozilla left off. Chrome is a fantastic browser and I never have issue with it. Firefox 4 and 5 used to crash at least once per day. If it wasn't crashing then the ram usage was spiralling out of control.
I would rather put my trust in Google than Microsoft, I believe that Google have the interest of a faster more up to date web than Microsoft do and I go with their values.

As someone who is deeply concerned with Google's dominance of the Web (and increasingly mobile), I would dearly love for you to list out your reasons for trusting them, so that I can change my mind. In the meantime I'll stick to Firefox, loss of mojo or otherwise.

"I too would have liked Firefox to win"
"They may have redeemed themselves recently but I wouldn't care to look"
These two sentences feel contradictory to me. If you want Firefox to win, at least give it a try once every few versions.

Chromium is as functional as Chrome and it's 100% Free Software. That's why you should like the Chrome family over IE; you can open up the hood and play with the little bits inside. With IE, you're stuck with whatever Microsoft is nice enough to give you.
Also, Bing advertises on Google too. And Google has basically paid for (and continues to pay for) Firefox's development.
If there's someone to hate here, it certainly isn't Google.

I live in Chrome and Firefox all day for web development. Firefox is playing catch up but they didn't kill their browser. Maybe just starved it for a while. And while I agree I'd rather google then microsoft have browser dominance, they're not perfect and shouldn't reign supreme.
In the past month, Google has advertised on the new tab page for their chrome book using a mechanism for emergency updates (in some cases people can't close the ad), and started a fight in the chromium community about supporting Dart directly. Neither one is a major offence but both exhibit they have their own interests at heart.
Spdy is another good example. (I like Spdy, and I think its a good idea, but...) SPDY™ is trademarked to Google. It currently has no rfc. (Just a mostly empty draft. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00.htm... ) It was developed internally and not opened to comments. They control the largest implementations both server and client side. And while they're selling it as a way for everyone to make the web faster, they still have full control. (Apache support is here, nginx doesn't support it, Amazon uses it heavily for the kindle fire.)
