Well, not sure I'm ringing the bells yet. I think as people play with it, they'll see there's still a long way to go.

The biggest is that it doesn't do extensions yet. It doesn't The first focus sounds like it will be the Flash engines of the world (i.e. binary extensions). Then later they'll add a Firefox-like extension model.

Next they have their other OS's to support. So it's got a lot of catching up to do.

I'm impressed with it so far, but I'm not uninstalling Firefox quite yet.



Extensions on firefox are broken anyways. Look how difficult it is to find and add an extension. I'm thinking less than 5% of firefox users actually use extensions, but I may be wrong there.

If google makes extensions work better, the have a real winner. And firefox will die quickly.
