Without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most ignorant posts I have ever seen on a board. If you want your multitute of plug-ins etc etc then why not just stick with FF? Why do people automatically assume that Google are just going to make a copy of Firefox anyway? Ask yourself, 'Why am I using Chrome?'. If it's in the vein hope that Chrome will 'in 3 months' achieve what FF has done over many years, then you are sorely mistaken. No-one is forcing you to use Chrome/Chromium. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-discuss" group.
