Stop Whining About Google Chrome

I’m going to keep this one short because I don’t have a lot of time and I’m short on energy for this here topic.  But it goes something like this, “Dear, All-You-Chromy-Whiners: Stop it.  You’re embarrassing yourselves.”

I said it once and I’ll say it again — Google is not terribly interested in entering the web browser business.  They do, however, want to ensure that their applications/services run quickly and smoothly in whatever browser their visitors elect to surf with.  Surprise!  So, along came Chrome, and just in time for the release of their _Android_ mobile phone package.  Imagine that.

So all these so-called tech bloggers shouldn’t be totally flabbergasted that the Chrome Engineers didn’t implement a bunch of tiny tweaks to enhance every single product produced by Google.  That wasn’t the point of the release.  Google is not a an overnight venture start-up dedicated to one product.  They’re a multi-billion dollar Brand committed to making money, which they do by selling adverts through online services. Correct me if I’m right.

AND, umm…do you get why there was no Mac release?  Or at least why it wasn’t a release one priority.

If Chrome catches on, demanding reasonable market share, and there is a need for further development, then Google will implement damn near everything that everyone is crying about.  But until that happens, let’s all be happy with the current EULA update and be about our merry ways.  If we really want to make a difference, let’s bang on the doors of our current browsers to implement all the cool features of crhome.  (You can get most of the Chrome features in Firefox already through Addons.)
