zoobidubi Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 It came to my attention that if you’re using explorer than in Google page Chrome advertisement appears. But if you’re using Firefox, no advertisement. Is Google supporting Firefox and open source? If so, why have they developed Google Chrome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Griffin Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Google is trying to get people away from IE and onto ANY decent browser. Good people. That, or FF has some sort of popup blocker that works on it, IDK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzi Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that in addition to the above, people who use Firefox know what a browser is and can usually make their own choices. Edit: Also, Firefox has it's default search as google, so they might have a contract or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Also one of the main reasons that FF can use a lot of RAM is stuff like addons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark One Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 except chrome still uses more RAM than IE... No it doesn't. it did for me last time I checked...The Task Manager doesn't properly calculate Chrome's memory usage because instances of it share RAM. Chrome is the lightest browser on the market, in close competition only with Safari and Minefield. (the alpha for the new release of Firefox) I don't care for Chrome's interface, so I use a nightly build of Safari on my MBP, but Chrome is still a great browser. So is Firefox, but generally I don't load it up unless I have specific need of one of its plugins. Others... meh. Opera is pretty nice, but it's nothing super exciting. And IE is terrible. And that IS terrible, since IE is a program developed by one of the wealthiest corporations in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
