You only feel this way because you like Google. MS including a browser so people didn't have to FTP one or get one from friends made the world better too. It's probably that decision that helped the web grow to what it is today.
I remember what it was like trying to get on the internet before IE was included. It was a pain.
Also, consumerism's arguably bad for the world, due to over consumption, etc, so advertising isn't really good for the world, thus google is bad for the world.
- michaelfairley 17y agoDidn't the anti-trust case have more to do with the fact that it was impossible to uninstall IE, and that various actions would cause IE to be reset as the default browser?
- zaphar 17y agoI wasn't commenting on MS and it's policies. However I believe the issue with MS was less the browser bundling and more the difficulty in removing it. And strong arm tactics keeping alternate browsers from being installed by manufacturers. My point still stands. Google is not making it difficult to use a different gps system or using strong arm tactics. This sets them apart from MS.
