I highly doubt that. I think the browser will be adopted quickly and
overtake the market. Neither the majority of browser users nor Google
care about privacy or anonymity. Google also wants the browser to be
used by businesses - so there will be many features similar to those
IE has in the Windows version. There's a reason why Chromium/Chrome
uses Windows' proxy crap on Windows, and the developers are refusing
to change that despite many requests.
