I never said you couldn't? The point is that to call Chrome "just a browser" is misleading.

That's probably ad hominem you're thinking of. "Straw man" is probably best described as putting words in someone's mouth - it's when you attack an argument that your opponent hasn't actually made instead of attacking their actual argumen

This is what happens in Chrome on Windows 7. Its rendering of remote fonts is horrible, and the Chrome team should be ashamed of themselves. @font-face is incredibly common now and Chrome on Windows just ruins many very well-done designs.

You're using one cherry-picked article from 1985 as representative of all journalism of that era. Nothing's happened to journalism, there's just lots more of it, so you have to do some work to get your filters in place.
