Chrome to take No. 2 browser spot from Firefox
Doesn't it bother anybody that Chrome is made by ad company?<p>The way I see it, if everybody started using ad blockers like I do, google would implode almost instantly.  So how would they combat that?  Control the platform for viewing the web and be positioned to kill ad blockers if it ever became a problem.<p>Would you buy a DVR controlled by a television network?  That would be insane, as soon as DVRs ate too much into their revenues they would just
kill the skipping feature.<p>But because of the abundance of chrome fanboys, this is just what is happening, and everybody is looking the other way.<p>A little while ago we had a big company doing everything they could to control the "personal computer" platform, even evil things, and illegal things, and now there's another company trying to control the internet as a platform and a lot of you hackers are eating it up, I'm just baffled.
