You can't argue in defense of Google from an "it's nonstandard" angle, because Google is all about nonstandard Web extensions these days -- to a much larger extent than Microsoft.
You can't argue in defense of Google from a "they didn't know enough about how IE works" angle. They're Google. They created Chrome Frame, people. They know enough to solve this engineering problem.
The pro-Google bias on HN is astounding.
- cooldeal 15y ago>The pro-Google bias on HN is astounding. I can imagine how exact same commenters here supporting Google would react if Bing Ads did this to Chrome. I am sure hell would break loose with the "OMG EVIL M$" shouts. My concern now is that this post may disappear soon thanks to inevitable flagging of any negative news about Google. This has happened to many submissions in the past. One instance http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3544173 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3544173 That was an article about Microsoft posting an anti-Gmail video, but the pro-Google folks didn't want people to even see the video for themselves and judge it for what it's worth.

- rbanffy 15y agoThere is no pro-Google bias. What is observable is passionate people who downvote any comment they disagree with, sometimes downvoting comments from the same author. I've seen more civilized days.
