Google is sneakly becoming another enterprise compnay like Microsoft and they will start charging for all their services.
The nly difference is Google is hiding behind the open source technology to tell people how nice they are.

We know the reason behind it.
Collect more data from user and sell the collected data to third party companies for marketing.
Obvious example was when they launched Android Mobile Phone and Chrome.I had all applications free but now if you want to get applications you need to pay for many of them.

Firefox had over 1 Million download in one day and milions of user and developers are using firefox.At the end if not Google then Next options,yeah unfortutanely Miscrosost.

But i still use firefox because of the add ons…like zotero, ad block plus, etc… which are really useful for me.

[...] FBS works very hard to support as many browsers as we can. We believe browser choice is key to the web promise of access to your data anytime, anywhere, and on any computer. Sometimes supporting multiple browsers is a real pain. One of our lead web developers, Brandon Medenwald, has written about this before on the FBS Blog in regards to the hoops and hacks we have to jump through for Internet Explorer, which often does things just different enough to cause headaches. Given this, the introduction of a new browser could be seen as just another headache to support. Further, there’s no lack of browsers out there now with IE, Firefox, Safari and Opera, so the release by Google of their new Chrome browser has some scratching their heads. [...]

i tried chrome. i must said that its 10 more stable than firefox. you must remember that chrome is build after firefox. its develop by the former lead engineer of firefox. this is the end of firefox. unless firefox start tied together with yahoo.

this is the war, only the strongest will survive.

firefox memory leak kill me, i don’t see this problem in chrome yet. unless firefox start to redesign its core engine to solve this problem. firefox will be like internet explorer who who they tend to look down before.
