Just in case you’ve thought about installing Google Chrome, read this. WARNING: Please do not install into your computer!!!
http://seo2.0.onreact.com/10-scariest-and-most-annoying-facts-about-google-chrome
- Proprietary: Google Chrome won’t be another Firefox, you can bet. Google is the Microsoft of the Web. It won’t be friendly forever.
- Privacy: Google knows what you search (Google search), what you read (iGoogle, Google Reader), what people visit a site (Google Analytics), what sites you visit (Google toolbar, lifetime Google cookies, DoubleClick tracking cookies) etc. but there still are some unknowns, from time to time. With a Google browser you can’t hide anything anymore.
- Ads: Both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 come with either built in or easily added Google ad blockers. A Google browser is basically a Google Ads feeding machine.
- Web Development: Web Developers have a difficult enough job to fix websites for the 4 most used existing browsers now IE7, IE6, Firefox, Opera. Do you think a Google browser and IE8 will make it easier? Currently building websites often takes up less time already than tweaking them for different browsers.
- Web Standards: We’ll end up with web apps or even websites working just on one of them.
- Firefox: The guy who built Firefox now works with Google or for both FF and Google. Do you really think this will go forever and Google will support it’s own free and non-profit open source competition?
- Search: No other search engine will be able to succeed in future. Google will just like Microsoft bundle the browser with the search engine so that any new search engine that comes up in future will face an unsurmountable disadvantage: It won’t be able to gain market share without owning a browser.
These are just some reasons so called experts provided for Google Chrome being a bad idea! What do you think?
