I'm more interested in Firefox vs Chrome. I simply want to be able to use the web without using Google. By raising the bar on shiny but non-essential features, they make it harder for an open source browser to play. The new features may be fun options today but sooner or later those features will become standard, and website X won't work without Chrome. From TFA: > There is a long tail of human interface devices (HIDs) that are too new, too old, or too uncommon to be accessible by systems' device drivers I can easily imagine a banking website one day requiring custom USB drivers for security. Similar things happened with ActiveX and IE in the MS EEE days.
