I understand that. That's why I'm perfectly happy to see advertising in my search results. I would not have minded if the ad was placed on the Google home page or at the top of my search results, but this ad is showing up in my software, on my own computer. I haven't seen any other reputable browser do that (without annoying toolbars installed, that is).
- stephenr 15y agoAnd no other browser maker makes the vast majority of its revenue from advertising. Google aren't in the business of making web browsers, or tablet and phone OS' out of the goodness of their heart. it's all about pushing users to use their services, so they can mine that usage for data, so they can serve more ads, more effectively.
