Currently on my all of my websites, combined, Chrome accounts for 79% of traffic at the moment. It's good they're off IE (not because it's Microsoft, but because it doesn't follow standards), but they're just switching one single pony for another.

In an ideal world the split would be even throughout all major browsers. I feel uneasy seeing Chrome so high. Even makes me a bit melancholic to see Firefox at a measly 17%. (again: for MY websites)

I don't think it's possible to have what you describe. It would require roughly equivalent performance and features in multiple browsers. That won't happen unless you inhibit or penalize browsers for improvements above a certain level. Eventually someone will outdo Chrome and the web will switch over but there will always be a top dog.

Firefox shot itself in the foot when they started breaking everyone's add-ons and plugins about three times per week (an exaggeration, but not by much).
