Poll: Will Chrome take more marketshare from FF or IE?

1 points by kajecounterhack ↗ HN
Personally I feel Firefox is more prone to losing marketshare thought all this Chrome business, because it would appear that the kinds of people who are willing to use Chrome are the same kinds of people who generally use firefox. Personally, I use firefox, and will use Chrome when the linux port is complete.

But of course, I'm curious, what do you all think?

I've voted for Firefox, but it depends on a few factors, such as how much weight Google decides to put behind Chrome. If they start pushing it (really pushing it - marketing lies and all) on the famously minimalist Google home page they have a real chance of penetrating the IE home market.

Of course, in the enterprise people often are not given the chance to instal their browser of choice, and IE will retain a good chunk of the market through this alone, which is the overriding reason that I have for voting for FF to lose market share over IE.
