You're right. Those Google guys are shifty folks. They should be more like the paragons of excellent product development and non-monopolistic business practices like the good guys at Microsoft.

Holy false dichotomy batman. Just because one company is abusive doesn't mean that you need to cheerlead another abusive company. Google is hurting Firefox and Opera by their actions too.

  How exactly is Google hurting Firefox? Is it just by taking away browser share? Because last time I checked Google provides the majority of Firefox's revenue. (Though last time I checked was like 5 years ago, so that may have changed in the interim)

  > Google is hurting Firefox ...By giving Mozilla $300MM a year?

    Don't equate a business marketing/advertising decision maximizing Google profits with philanthropy.

      Then it sounds like Mozilla is hurting themselves by relying on cash flow from their competitors.

        Mozilla doesn't compete with Google on search. (Regardless of that, your statement is quite the non-sequitur, because Mozilla optimizing their income isn't "hurting themselves")
