This is ridiculous. I'd recommend chrome over firefox to anyone on windows[1], but even if he disagrees, it's ridiculous to call it unsuccessful: 2 million downloads in the first week, tons of mainstream attention.
[1]I'd recommend that developers keep ff installed for work, and that anyone pissy about ads do whatever makes them happy.
- vaksel 18y agoall of those downloads are just people looking at the latest shiny thing. I was one of those downloads, I haven't opened Chrome since, because I like firefox, and I'm used to the interface and Chrome didn't really strike me as something that was way better
- unalone 18y agoBecause it's a web browser. It loads web pages. Isn't the idea that it's supposed to stay out of the way and let you browse? I won't jump on either side here, but this is a foolish way to argue it. One person's preference does not a browser make, and the fact that Chrome buzz died away is only because Chrome had such ridiculous buzz to begin with. THAT was the unnatural part, and its dying down is only logical. Somebody apparently disagrees with me on that, so tell me: was Chrome not overhyped? And isn't it true that for web browsing, the best interface is none at all?
