google chrome – not for me
Posted by Adrian on Sep 7, 2008 in Open Source | 0 commentsAt Mercian Labels we do a lot of online marketing, and the new google browser “Chrome” looked of interest to me, as aI wanted to form an opinion as to whether or not it will take off and be as popular as IE or Firefox.
However useful and incredibly successful google is, sometimes they appear to overstep the mark.
Read this review of Chrome’s security features and decide – do you really want this level of data transparency to google? I dont. And despite the fact that its open source, I can think of many reasons why this wont be as popular as firefox (the default choice of those who even remotely care what browser they use) or IE (installed by default on the vast majority of PCs as they run Windows). Plugins. Community support. Security. Brand. Freedom. Privacy.
Why would anyone choose Chrome over Firefox?
