Chrome is created by an Ad company so that they can make more money selling Ads. People are willing to overlook this fact because they trust that Google wont put it's own desire to make profit over keeping the web open. People are losing the trust that this is the case.
If somebody comes up with some new technology that makes the web better in some way, but also means it's more difficult or impossible to target advertising, do you think Google will implement it? Do you think the makers of Bing will?
Am i the only one that thinks that a handful of Ad companies shouldn't be controlling how the web evolves?
- BHSPitMonkey 14y agoDoes using Chrome or Chromium somehow serve Google and its nefarious goals?
- ijk 14y agoI sure hope it serves Google's long term goals. Lest we forget, apparently Reader did not serve those goals, and got killed for it. They don't have to be nefarious, they just have to want to use you to sell ads.
- pretzel 14y agoYes - default settings of 3rd party cookies is an obvious start.
- mike-cardwell 14y agoI don't see how anybody could answer that question with anything other than yes?

- fizzbar 14y agoChromebooks are just a means to an end: ever more ad impressions.
