- KeithMajhor 15y agoA large portion of the community is REALLY sensitive towards this sort of thing. Also, more people can upvote than downvote.
- mattmanser 15y agoHow is it moronic? I don't turn on my computer and get pop-ups from MS telling me to buy Office. I don't want my life to be one long sales opportunity for someone else, I need some respite from the constant bombardment of marketing drivel. When I first started using Chrome was this there? No. This is a classic bait and switch from Google.

- k33n 15y agoBecause the title is sensationalist. Why is displaying a small non-invasive ad on the start page some great evil? How is it a "classic bait and switch from Google"? What other bait and switches have they pulled in the past? Do you think they owe you a 100% free browser on your terms?

- HannibalLecter 15y agoKeen position. I find it interesting when men and women of intelligence attempt to stop debate or discussion on a particular issue. Google has long since stated it would do no evil, however bundling advertisements right into a browser is a sign of decay of what was once a glorious company. They have made another misstep that they don't want people to talk about. Silence the Lambs, Google.
