- scumbert 7y agoGoogle lives in a browser. Your average consumer's computing rarely leaves the browser today. Apples to oranges.
- jevgeni 7y agoAnd probably due to that GOOG’s tracking is way more intrusive. But yeah, the bandwagon isn’t going to jump on itself.
- celticmusic 7y agoclaiming it doesn't make it so.
- cptskippy 7y ago> my desktop environment. Is your desktop environment Chrome OS? Do you get Microsoft ads whenever you visit google.com from the Chrome Web Browser?
- Cthulhu_ 7y agoI live in a browser half the time; the browser IS the desktop environment. Conversely, I don't use the start menu. At best I hit start and type the application I use. But on my Windows machine I mostly live inside my browser and Steam / game libraries, which are pinned to my start bar.
- icebraining 7y agoDoes Chrome show ads by itself?
- runjake 7y agoYou should use Chrome and ChromeOS more. It's already happening.
- icebraining 7y agoWhich ads do Chrome/ChromeOS show, outside of those shown to everyone using other OS/Browser to access the same sites?
- cptskippy 7y ago> outside of those shown to everyone using other OS/Browser to access the same sites? That isn't a fair comparison because each company primarily advertises from their monopoly position. Google does not have a monopoly position on platforms, only services. Microsoft is the opposite. If you flip it around, Microsoft shows you one advert if you haven't turned them off entirely. Where as Google shows you an advert every time you visit every service they have and you can't turn it off.
