Chrome to take No. 2 browser spot from Firefox
Doesn't it bother anybody that Chrome is made by ad company?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.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.But because of the abundance of chrome fanboys, this is just what is happening, and everybody is looking the other way.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.
