Mozilla's Asa Dotzler wants Google to
start providing browser usage statistics again.
I completely agree.
Asa also thinks that Google's statistics will be more globally representative than what we have to day.
That, I don't agree with.

web, opera, google, chrome
Following in the footsteps of Palm's WebOS (and partially the old
Opera Platform (now replaced by widgets)), Google has announced the
Google Chrome Operating System, which is initially aimed at netbooks, and which is basically a browser as the operating system running on top of Linux.

According to the
New York Times:
Accusing Microsoft of unfairly sidelining competitors, Google said on Tuesday that it would apply to join a European Union antitrust case against Microsoft over the company’s Web browser.
A couple of weeks ago,
Mozilla joined as well.

opera, open the web, google, chrome
In my previous post about Google encouraging webmasters to
test in all browsers, I may have been a bit harsh. It seems that Google is at least being consistent with its browser discrimination.
There's more on
Google's stance on browser discrimination over at the
Opera Developer Network. As a sidenote, Microsoft has apparently often been more responsive fixing their issues than Google has when fixing theirs. Food for thought.

opera, open the web, google, chrome
According to Google's "
Information for web developers" page (emphasis mine):
Internet users have an increasing number of choices for web browsers today, including Firefox, Safari, Opera, and now Google Chrome. Sometimes web pages look and work differently in each browser, so it's important to test your site across all of them to ensure all your visitors can enjoy the experience you've designed.
Thank you, Google! Now let's see if you can practice what you preach, and get all those services working smoothly in Opera at all times.
It's also nice to see Google acknowledging Opera now, as they have mostly failed to do so in their Chrome PR material. They've borrowed heavily from Opera, but have only mentioned Firefox and Safari.

Yahoo! has
responded to
Google becoming the default search in Opera Mobile and Opera Mini:
"Yahoo! has elected not to continue its mobile search partnership with Opera at this time.
That Yahoo! claims that it was they who chose to end the partnership is interesting in light of Google's comments about how their mobile search revenue is "
growing above expectations".
Still, it is nice to see that Yahoo! will keep supporting and working with Opera:
Consumers with Opera browsers will continue to have access to Yahoo! oneSearch, and as long-standing partners, Opera and Yahoo! will continue to work together.
Opera is definitely becoming a force to be reckoned with in the mobile market, and we are seeing a nice growth in our user base on the desktop as well.

opera, google
Good news if you prefer Google to Yahoo. Opera Mini and Opera Mobile will use Google as the default search provider from now on.

It seems that Microsoft has
filed antitrust complaints in both the US and the EU to block Google's acquisition of online ad company DoubleClick. While the acquisition was approved in the US, the EU has yet to come to a decision.
