Google Chrome Displaces Safari As Third In Survey
Azureflare writes "According to a Net Applications survey, Google Chrome has replaced Apple's Safari as the number-three browser. This may be partially explained by the release of the Chrome beta on Mac and Linux, but may also be due to users jumping ship from IE. More analysis on this topic can be found at ComputerWorld. As anecdotal evidence of Google Chrome usage gaining steam, Bank of America has apparently recently added Google Chrome to their list of officially supported browsers."
What's not to like (other than a current lack of an official ubuntu theme)?
The lack of AdBlock Plus? How about the annoying and frequently repeated ads on Hulu that make you click on stuff? How about your viewing, usage habits, history, plugins, etc all being tracked by Google? I mean I could go on.
It's a fucking browser. Just like any other piece of software there are plenty of things to like and not like.
Surprise surprise, Apple invests all its time and money in marketing and promotion for it's barely-improved plastic crap. I'm so sure they give a shit about browser performance or security. I'll stick with a functional browser like FireFox, thanks.
If the only way you can accept an assertion is by faith, then you are conceding that it can't be taken on its own merits
