Obviously because Linux is not the majority of desktop os' users either - tho it is becoming the dominant server os (see top 500 list for example how it is dominated by linux). So of course we are not the dominant browser users either .. so what. Chrome is the up and comer and will overtake firefox in due time imho. It is way, way, way better than firefox in a large number of important ways. It is young still but in a short time has gained enormous momentum. And it is not just windows users switching. However, that is google-chrome - I have not tried spots repo for a while but when I first tried it it was far less functional than google-chrome - cannot tell you why (java flash problems primarily if I recall). At present chrome is eating mostly IE users and safari users ... and linux firefox users. I actually no longer know anyone using firefox on linux (not saying there are none) but everyone I know using linux - regardless of distro is using google-chrome and holding firefox just-in-case something has stupidly checked for IE/FF. Everyone I know used to use firefox on linux - and that has changed .. ok not 70 MM but quite a large number! We should be advancing chrome (or chromium) - it is in our best interest - to work on either chromium or with google to include google-chrome in fedora. Google has switched their desktops to linux or mac (users choice) - now theres a few more chrome users on linux .. ;-) gene -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
