I'd love to see some sources on that, because I know of dozens of people who've switched from Firefox to Chrome. Obviously I wasn't suggesting you weren't watching Chrome at all, but it's good to hear you're making the right decisions in competing with Chrome (primarily the reduction of Firefox's inherent clunkiness and slowness).

Firefox has stayed around the 30% mark of browser share, and there's an obvious connection between the steady IE drop and Chrome gain.
