      I must admit I ditched Firefox for a while when it was considerably slower than Chrome.

        > while

        Google controls enough of the internet to make sure it stays that way. I was reading yesterday about how their Polymer framework heavily favors Chrome/clones, and Mozilla has basically been playing catch up this entire time.

        Luckily, Mozilla is devoting all their time and money to stopping th-- wait, never mind, they just bought a shopping habit tracking company.

          Rockmelt is a fork of Chromium, not a fork of Chrome. Same with Maxthon. Both Chromium and Chrome are maintained by Google, but Chromium is open-sourced while Chrome is not.

              Agreed. I didn’t mean to imply chromium is a good thing, which is why I said it is maintained by Google. Lots of browsers are forks of Chromium, even Microsoft Edge, but I thought they were implying these browsers were illegal forks hacked from Chrome, so I looked them up and found they’re just more chromium forks.

        I’m ashamed to say I did the same and even converted quite a few non-tech savvy people as well. :(

        The trick is to never let your smugness show, then you can be smug about your humility as well. *sniff* Ahhhh…
