Google endorses firefox - Page 2

tubaman93 · 08-26-2004, 08:09 PM

Well I think now since Google recommends Firefox they should at least make their software (i.e Official Toolbar, Google Labs stuff, etc.) compatable with Firefox. Either that or they're working on it.

I hope so, for selfish reasons if nothing else. As a Linux user with a strong aversion to touching anything Windows related, I'd like having the functionality of Google's downloadable stuff for my system. It's funny enough to see that they endorsed Firefox a little bit, which would surely come as a slap in the face to Microsoft, which, let's face it, has always wanted to own the internet (yes, I have links to support that, in case someone doesn't remember some of the anti-trust suits).

But I'm getting ahead of myself here. In all practicality, this is pretty minor and understandable, considering how great Firefox is. My (widely shared) opinion is that Linux is the Google of operating systems and that Firefox holds the same position in the world of web browsers. Why so much Google stuff is Windows/IE only is truly beyond me.

Internet Explorer SUCKS.

I love spending less time to find stuff (tabbed browsing, Google's I'm Feeling Lucky search when typing something in) less time opening all the forums I visit (opening entire folders in tabs) and less time cleaning my computer of viruses and spyware.

Did any one notice that TNTCHEATS has changed the title himself. (look at the author tab. I think he is well versed with PHPBB and also has access to the hosting place!!)

Wow, no I didn't noticed that yet. Is that what you can buy in the effect story (changing title)? I was wondering what that was. Anyway,

This just goes to show the superior quality of google. Firefox is superior to Internet Explorer in many ways; it's more secure, and most important of all, it's open source. I think that with time, Firefox, or perhaps Mozilla, will become the dominant browser. Besides, the Firefox logo looks 10 time cooler than the Internet Explorer logo.
