Sweet.
Firefox rocks with or without plugins. One huge plus is that plugins are so easy to install, and you aren't forced to have any of them you don't want! |

Firefox is by far the best browser out there.
1. less vulnerabilities
2. tabs
3. opensource
the last one is a major plus for myself. |

True Andy, very true
But don't think that Google's like "yay Firefox, you are GOD!" because if they were then they'd have a Google toolbar or at least a plugin *made by Google* for Firefox.
And I think it's mostly that they don't like Microsoft. Hence their usage of Linux on all of their computers (though this arguably could cut down on costs).

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. |
