This is silly. Evil is not relative, it is absolute. Google has every right to make it’s own browser while still in agreement with Mozilla, unless there’s something in the contract that prohibits that. Google does enough wrong that we don’t need to make up perceived offenses.

Switched to Chrome and can’t leave it anymore.
Firefox is much more featured but you know what, I can’t stand that 400 pixels tall working navigation bar… that is too much…

Google Chrome’s share dropped from 1 per cent in October 2008, to 0.83 per cent in November 2008. Besides, why do you think that killing Firefox is a bad thing? It will encourage open source people to invent better browsers. The enemy (Firefox) of Microsoft’s enemy (Google) is Microsoft’s friend. Extended Validation? RSS icon?

Regardless of the fact that google just closed a partnership deal with mozilla foundation to last till 2011, google is not ‘obligated’ to help mozilla out. It’s not evil to stop working with someone. It’s not evil to do something better than someone else. And, much as it might suck for the loser, it’s not evil to outdo someone in the marketplace through innovation and merit.

“Sure, end users can change the default search engine. But given Google’s huge search share — 61.9 percent in July, according to ComScore — the default is likely to remain the same. Google wants to keep that money it gives Mozilla and other browser developers”

Actually no.

True Google has the best search engine for several years but the competition catched up with them. Yahoo and Alta Vista is now just as good and MS search engine is not far behind. If google start to suck even a little bit it will lose it’s pool position in a matter of few months.

google.COM = Don’t really trust. They get their $$$ from ad revenue. Don’t want to hand them my “browsing habits” on a silver platter.

mozilla.ORG = Trust at least a little. Ad Blocker+ RULES.

I won’t even dignify this beta with my own press release. Google Chrome’s password manager failed more tests than any other browser I’ve tried. I’m looking forward to testing a release candidate.

Meh, just tried Chrome and went back straight to Firefox. Seriously, until/unless Chrome develops an add-on architecture like Firefox has, Microsoft has more to fear than Mozilla, since the niches are much more similar. My girlfriend who stubbornly preferred IE to Firefox for reasons I can’t fully comprehend, apparently is going to switch to Chrome in a heartbeat. Admittedly, she is significantly geekier than the average computer-illiterate, but with Google’s reaching power, adoption could easily soar.
