If Google gives it a half decent debugger, get a good add-on ecosystem going, and fix more Webkit bugs than Apple has, it could gain some measurable market share. I think it’ll easily beat Safari & Opera on Windows as the #3 web browser on Windows within 12 months. However, topping IE or Firefox is going to be a long tough slog. Webkit based browsers (both Chrome & Safari) are currently too rough around the edges compared to Firefox or IE to be a real threat in the next year. If they throw enough engineers at it, it could be major player in a short time. Google has the brand and the engineering talent to compete with the leaders. Should be fun to watch!

On IE they have to rely on people setting the default page or installing the tool bar. A smart move by google. This is something they should have done long ago instead of some of the projects on this page http://www.google.com/intl/en/options/ Seems like Google needs the default setting to be Google.
