My OperaNew Google Browser: Why?
Tuesday, September 2, 2008 2:16:11 AM
Google's announced their new browser, 'Chrome', which should be released in 24 hours.
I can't help but wonder why Google thought it would be easier to create their own browser than work with the browsers already out there. Opera's standards-compliant, but lots of Google's pages work poorly with it, and they're typically not interested in fixing it.
So, if they can't be bothered to fix their pages, what on earth makes them trustworthy enough to design the whole browser?
Oh well, we'll see I guess. I'm not in a hurry to use a different browser, and apparently I'm not alone: Opera's doing quite well according to the latest reports. =)
