Knife Party Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 While he's being dramatic, you're being a drone. Bundling software in with other software in a sneaky manner like Google does with Chrome is an unsavoury practice. I go to get the latest version of Flash and if I don't uncheck the box conveniently checked for me under the download button, I end up with Chrome on my system. That is annoying. facepalm, now both of you are being dramatic. Anyways, this is offtopic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameboy1977 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 one day, this will be happen to Google for anti-trust. I really hate Google so much. I went to that website earlier, and I noticed who is really search online king: Google, but there is no google service in China, because they blocked Google search engine long time ago. Google's Chrome is also king in the world. I feel bad for Opera already. nitins60 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatingFatMan Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I am using Internet explorer 9 everyday. Did you remember EU and Opera sued MS for Browsers Wars? I feel bad for EU has tiny brain, because Opera wants to be more popular in the world, but it already failed. EU should not fined MS for over billions dollars a few months ago, so they can sue Google's Chrome in first place! Irony. Accusing the entirety of the EU of having a tiny brain, when your post is barely understandable. :rofl: Knife Party and gameboy1977 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google's Chrome is also king in the world. I feel bad for Opera already. And do you know WHY Google is blocked in China? Because Google refused to filter their search results to the Chinese governments orders. Good for them, I say! Censorship is bad. gameboy1977 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metallithrax Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Are you aware that when installing popular software, Chrome is bundled by default, just like toolbars were bundled years ago? By employing this sneaky tactic, Chrome acts like malware. "acts like malware", not "is malware". Then that would be the fault of those distributing the initial software, not Google's fault. They don't have to accept Chrome as the additional download software, and neither do those downloading the initial software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is an example: "Google has agreed to pay an unspecified 'significant amount' to have the software bundled with select Adobe downloads." http://wayback.archive.org/web/20060709082728/http://www.sci-tech-today.com/story.xhtml?story_id=11200CI6N1HS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metallithrax Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Are you saying that both sides are at fault? If Google did not want the bundling, Google would not have agreed to the deals and paid money. No, I do not see how Google are at fault in any way. They are asking software companies if they will bundle their software(Chrome) with whatever the 1st company is offering. It is down to the 1st company to accept or decline. If they accept, then they are the ones who should be blamed. Although, depending on how much is offered, I can see why a company would accept such a proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiCKX Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Damn, I didn't know Google was wiping the floor with FF. I used FF since the beginning, but the last year it was 99% all Chrome. It almost has everything FF has (add-ons) and strats faster+handles Flash better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
