You mean that chrome is an internet explorer?
- PythagoRascal 5mo agoNo, I think it was meant literally. Like the IT Crowd skit where Jen refers to the Internet Explorer desktop shortcut as "the button for the internet".

- josephcooney 5mo agoMore of a navigator for the 'scape of the net.

- crusty 5mo agoSomething no one else would want - a little colored dot next to HN user names keyed to their generation, so I could quickly tell why none of the commenter mentioned AOL.
- UltraSane 5mo agoWhat about Prodigy and Compuserve?
- lukan 5mo agoGreat joke, but taking the word literal and not as product name, it makes a lot of sense to describe chrome as a tool to explore the internet. (Edit: thinking about it, I think generic terms like "Internet Explorer" should not be trademarkable at all, also I just learned, that also Microsoft "stole" the name and had to pay in a settlement..)
