In the meanwhile Google Chrome is gaining more and more usage share... isn't that the way IE dominated the market? Netscape delayed the versions because they were creating a super Netscape Browser/Navigator?

Chrome bumps version numbers for almost no reason. Not that that’s bad, but I don’t think release frequency was the biggest reason IE beat out Netscape. Consider the 5+ years between IE6 and IE7 where IE6 was still 80% of the market, for example…

Well I disagree man, this was the last release of chrome on October 19, 2010:
http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2010/10/stable-chan... ... now Firefox, January 21st, 2010(it's been a while huh?) http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6/releasenotes/ but is not only about the release time, look at the features, I can see more innovation in Chrome than Firefox and more faster.
