Google Chrome - Traitor to Firefox
Google has released yet another “free” product whose goal is to gather more user data, and create its own internet. This time around it is the Google Browser aka Google Chrome. Here is why I am so upset that Google has released another free product that will make them a boat load of money while screwing everybody else, in this case Firefox.
Firfox is an open source browser. If you are still using Explorer… STOP. Download Firefox immediately.
Heres why:
- Faster Speed
- Safer Browsing
- Plug in Compatible
- and More
Here was a community of people who like so many other people though of Google as this fun, friendly, company, not the for profit monster it really is. They even decided to make Google the default search engine for Firefox.
After years of being a faithful supporter here is how Google thank Firefox. They give them the big ol’ middle finger and release their own browser that integrates with their other “free tools.” If this isn’t proof that Google is trying to become “the internet” then you need to open up your eyes to the truth.
Google is a for profit corporation, their monopolistic practices rival those of Microsoft!

Firefox has no fears. Chrome sucks. It doesn’t work with proxies correctly (it loads half of pages and images if you’re behind a proxy), and it’s not innovative. It uses both the Gecko and Webkit engines like an awful bastardized hybrid.
It comes with an HTML debugger which is just like Firebug and some of the neat little things we’ve seen in Opera. It’s not as stable as they claim and my co-worker has crashed the entire browser before.
I understand as a programmer what they’re trying to do by making it faster and using separate memory spaces, not just per tab but per page, but not only does the app still crash, it’s simply not innovative. It’s nothing new and Firefox has a lot more 3rd party plugins that help it out.
Firefox has nothing to worry about.
I’ve been using Firefox for as long as I can remember. I use it, not just because of its safer nature, but because it’s constantly becoming better and it’s got a crew of people dedicated to ONE THING, and that’s making a better browser.
Mozilla isn’t a company trying to monopilize, and that’s why they’re so good. It’s as simple as that.
I don’t like Google much, either, but in the interests of fairness, it’s worth pointing out that Google paid Mozilla approximately $200M USD in order to be the default search provider in Firefox. So it really wasn’t something Firefox just did as a favor for Google.
The big problem with firefox is that it cannot be customized by Windows Group Policy. Group Policy is a vital tool for domain admins. Relase some free, easy to install, policy templates and I bet you Firefox usage within corporations will soar.
Yeah. I only sift with Chrome to see if it’s comparable. But I surf and use diligently: Opera. Firefox is too slow. Chrome could be…well..evil.
I downloaded Chrome just to try it but don’t think Firefox needs to worry. Chrome is just not as good or as intuitive as Firefox. Plus you can’t even integrate your google bookmarks into Chrome. How lame is that? BTW the new igoogle with the stupid tabs really sucks.
First of all, Firefox is owned by google… and they can do whatever they want. Honestly everything that google does is only benefiting the public, who really cares if they are making money, and I say they deserve it because they release so many great products for FREE. Their main goal is to make the web more accessible and easier for everyone, and they’ve proven it with all the great products they’ve released. So honestly, in terms of the user, why do they suck? They are only of benefit.
i have been using firefox since 1.5.x & i loved it after switching from IE6, i have FF on all my computers & i have FF portable on my WD Passport.
as a computer technician i tested chrome to know how it is & it was crap to say the least, the UI was bad i was confused with where all the buttons were, if you are a chrome user get the chrome theme(all though i see this as an insult to firefox).
if i had to use either Chrome or IE8, sad to say i would use IE8
“Google slowly taking over this rock called earth”
it is a quote i made about google on urban dictionary

I use Google Chrome for Flash Animations and Flash Games because I prefer the Full Screen mode in it more and it’s easier to rip files off of webpages, but other than that I agree with the general concensus that Google Chrome sucks.
There are several reasons that it sucks, for one no drop down favorites list so it’s harder to navigate and organize your favorites effectively (I like to have folders and sub folders, in Chrome you can only save pages).
You have to download extensions to search multiple search engines. Firefox lets you easily switch at will between them.
Google Chrome has odd graphical glitches when loading content from several sites, and crashes on some sites randomly that both IE and Firefox handle just find.
I think that’s reason enough, I personally use all three for various things. With IE I run WMV files and spell check (it auto corrects spelling on Hotmail, Firefox doesn’t let me use that), with Google Chrome I rip content off of webpages and run flash files in full screen, but I use Firefox for everything else.
