Pablo Martinez-Almeida writes "In a short but interesting interview posted at GigaOm, Opera CEO Jon S. von Tetzchner confirms that new entrants in the browser market (namely Google) are raising awareness on the mainstream Internet community about the availability of alternatives to the ubiquitous Internet Explorer. In his own words:

How has the emergence of WebKit and Chrome changed the market for you? JvT: The effect of Chrome so far has been 20 percent more downloads every day. It's fairly logical when you think about it, because the biggest hurdle we have is all those people that don't realize there's an alternative in the market. Now, with the launch of Chrome there's focus on the choice of browsers in the market.

We could think of Google as a modern Robin Hood: robbing from the rich (Internet Explorer), giving to the poor (Opera, Firefox, etc.)."
