2. "In the browsers world, when you take a horse (Firefox/IE)
and a donkey (Safari) and mix them up, you get – Google Chrome."

3. "We're very much in the game and moving fast -- 'reports
of our death are greatly exaggerated.'"

4. "Our business does well if people are using the Web
a lot and are able to use it easily and quickly."

5. "Right now Google is delivering their services mostly
through IE, which is an uncomfortable situation considering that IE is
not very good in terms of performance."

6. "Chrome will strengthen the Web as the biggest application
platform in the world."

The quoted

A. Security researcher Aviv Raff

B. Tristan Nitot, president of Mozilla Europe

C. Mozilla CTO Brendan Eich
