Chrome VS Firefox
Yesterday, Google announced that its Chrome browser had increased the number of users to 70 million. This is a significant result, more than 100% increase over the past year.
However, this is what the statistics from the Mozilla Asa Dotzler coordinator says : while Chrome has 70 million active users, and Firefox has almost 370 million. And while Chrome is gaining 40 million users in a year, Firefox has received more than 100 million users in the same time - yes, more than Chrome in total.
At the same time, one of the founders of Firefox, Blake Ross, thinks that Firefox will face a strong decline in 3 to 5 years. He justifies this by saying that Mozilla is too timid and bureaucratic in handling the browser.
The difficulties of Firefox are primarily related to those users who chose it from IE. Meanwhile, the latter’s market share recently fell below 60% for the first time, and MS is going to improve on this release of IE9. But even considering IE is not perfect, it seems that the rate of transition from it to Firefox has fallen. And from other browsers, FF users are not added, since their market share does not decrease. So the only hope for FF is getting new users who are just starting to use the Internet.

The most important question for the next few years is whether Chrome can drag users with FF and IE together faster than FF could do it with IE alone? Another important question is how fast will mobile browsers grow? At first glance it seems that they are already growing fast.
And one more interesting moment in the Dotzler graphics - 10 million users or so have stopped using the browser on holidays. Dotzler said that this is normal, but Chrome has no such failure.
