Also just realized, as much as people like to push all the snark about Microsoft regarding Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, that's exactly what Google is doing right now.
With them dominating browser share, they can now push tags like this that only make ads more annoying.
Geez we so badly need a more balanced browser landscape.
- strictfp 8y agoThe good thing is that they are already starting, so that the red flags are risen early.
- evv 8y agoHave you considered that it is already too late? Just look at Microsoft bending the knee to Chromium
- sixothree 8y agoI wonder if Chrome browser could survive if it was spun off from parent company.
- FridgeSeal 8y agoGoogle wouldn't allow that, as that would remove one of their primary means of influencing things in their favour.
- kinkrtyavimoodh 8y agoUnfortunately people seem to have such short memories. Most millennials today were too young to see Microsoft's evil side and so think people like me who have a lingering distrust for that company are just old luddites with axes to grind. OTOH, they grew up indoctrinated to Google and so refuse to see the water coming slowly to a boil.
