and yet, the saddest thing of them all, is that one can just... install Chrome!
it's not like the dark ages of IE6, where having to resort to use IE6 was also forcing to use Windows as well and forcing to use a dated, closed, non standards compliant browser.
Chrome is free, available essentially everywhere, standards compliant, fast and with cutting edge web features.
And that's a pity, that's what makes it just too easy to create a monopoly.

The issue is that Google is possibly resorting to actions that violate antitrust laws in the US and the EU to encourage users to switch to Chrome. Antitrust isn't about monopolies; it's about the reduction of competition through abuse of market position. A monopoly isn't required to violate antitrust laws, nor is market competition a defense.
- zaarn 8y agoChrome IS the new IE6. Just consider the number of times that Chrome breaks features because Google thinks webdevs can't think. And Websites breaking because I'm not using Chrome is exactly why IE6 was shit. Websites worked in IE6 but not anything else. THAT was the true tragedy.
