Firefox Creator No Longer Trusts Google
watashi writes "Blake Ross the man whose scratched itch became the Firefox browser explains on his blog why he has a problem with Google's policy of promoting their own products over competitors' in search results. His main gripe is that the tips (e.g. "Want to share pictures? Try Google Picasa") result in an inability for other products (perhaps even Parakey?) to compete for the top slot on Google."
Funny, I'm running FF right now, it shows none of the problems you speak of. Currently FF is 33M, and all the sites I go to load just fine.

I have 9 tabs open, and Firefox is using about 158MB of memory for me. It's also using some CPU (jumping around from 5-22%, and I'm not entirely sure why.. none of my extensions or tabs are doing much of anything). I have about 14 extensions installed, and only frequently use 4 of them. You can get all sorts of fun numbers based on how many tabs are opened, and how many extensions are installed.

These people killed in the name of communism disagree with your flippant, jejune dismissal
of their fate, and your attempt to apologize for their executioners.
