    Ever try using Google’s sites in Firefox or Safari? Most people use Google services and started using Chrome because of Google hounding them to switch. Hell, every major site says to just use Chrome now, and if a real Chrome ever comes out for iPhone, people will just download Chrome because it’s what they use on their computer.

    Sincerely, a frustrated Firefox and Safari user

      Google has taken a page out of Microsoft’s book and is currently towards the end of the Extend stage of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. A lot more sites are going to stop working without Chromium very soon if Google gets their way.

        Absolutely. I’m not buying the “fair and square” argument. Firefox won over IE fair and square, by being better in every way, but that didn’t last long enough.
