So we're trading a browser from a company with a desktop monopoly for one with a web search monopoly. I'm trying to get excited here.

Despite your sentiment, this is still moving the web forward. We all benefit from browsers built by vendors that have a genuine passion for the web. I'd argue that most believe Chrome is built from such passion more so than IE.

Since you brought up Firefox - I've always been on their side, up until I started living w/pain due to their decision to drop support for WebSQLDatabase. I'm now rooting for Chrome!



Firefox never supported Web SQL. There was no support to drop.


You're right, my mistake. I should have said "to not support" instead of "to drop support for".
