This article is quite shallow. I think the shift we're likely to see is not from IE to Chrome, but from a few dominate option to a wide field of choices. We'll see a proliferation of specialized browsers beyond Flock to mobile feed readers and social/location browsers. I do agree with Dean about Firefox however. I think it will continue to be the browser of choice for developers and other power users who need and love plugins. Google will continue to grow, but they will always be limited by their reluctance to truly open their tools beyond APIs. I agree with Marco. This article is quite shallow.

I think thats a bit unfair considering it works on several devices from of to normal phones and even the wii. Plus its as free on the of as the others mentioned.
