    The invisible hand seems to be giving you a reacharound.

    Just because price manipulation is so well-established that it has a technical jargon in common use, does not alter the fact that this is... market manipulation of price. The objective of which is to obfuscate otherwise open-market value of a stock, and take the rubes for all they gots.

    Make no mistake, despite those who'd predict an "Epoch fail", Perl 6 is the future - and it always will be.
    The fate of Perl 6 is tied to that of IPv6. Widespread adoption of each is expected at the same rough timeframe.

    I can bet that writing the chrom stuff is better than plugging into the XUL and whatnot half-tools! :-)

    But I do find Firebug super extensible and versatile. The Chrome equivalent is 80% coverage. Fits every case, but the exact one at hand. And the ability to run script in Chrome works - and is probably faster than FF. But it really lags in the user part.

    I guess my next take is this: If the tools are so much better for developers, why hasn't this platform taken off in the past 2-3 years?

    Where is the Chrome extension of any significant value that is equal to its Firefox counterpart?

    Adblock and Ghostery are better on Safari, than Chrome - and Safari's versions BLOW.

    What about the Chrome equivalent of Firebug, or RESTclient, or even Greasemonkey? What about DownloadHelper or DownLoadThemAll? What about FireFTP?

    How about Zotero? Nothing this sophisticated, powerful and simple exists in the Chromiverse. The ports to Chrome and Safari can be best described as experimental.

    In fact, it is the breadth of Firefox extensibility that best argues its case. The Chrome portal by contrast, is littered with simple CSS shifters for Facebook and YouTube.

    Great! An automotive strawman, to extend my television metaphor beyond the point of application. :-)

    Given the the explicit choice, most people don't want a car that reports their exact activity to police, advertisers and insurance companies, 7/24.

    Many would resort to "tooling" for their cars, in the effort to disable this.

    Radar detector? Reflective licence-plate shield? Yanking the seatbelt chime?

    The extensions are shite.

    Real garbage - and the updating of extensions is primitive, at best.

    With all the assets they own or control - Google Code, anyone? - you think that this would improve. No luck. From the Google POV, users should NOT have control over their browsing experience, any more than users of televisions do.

    The fact is, Firefox is a browsing TOOLKIT. Chrome is a HTML TV.

    And Google knows when you wipe your arse, what you did it with, and how much you paid the undocumented nanny, while you were distracted from child-rearing, by the arse-wiping task.

    They are willing to sell this to bidders. Don't worry! It's only in the "Aggregate". ;-)
