With the news that the Edge browser (Win10’s built in browser) is moving to a Chromimum rendering engine soon, a la Firefox and Opera did in the past, this picture is even more apt than it was already…
No other browsers will truly exist in the future - there will be only Google Chrome.
(Google: “Good. You shall join us in improving the world, one additional user at a time. Resistance is futile…”)
By the by, I have switched to Chrome. I do like it, but it bugs me when I start typing in for a URL I’ve been to before and it gives me nothing but search topics instead. Or the URL I’m looking for is there for a split second before it’s replaced by search topics. (I do find the fact that the “couldn’t connect” page is a mini-game amusing, though)
Welcome to the Google botnet family! We thank you for surrendering your personal privacy. In so doing you are helping the global economy by allowing advertisers to better tailor their pinpoint marketing campaigns. You are even making the world a safer place by helping the NSA to more easily track subversive elements pedophiles and terrorists. And don’t worry! From now on, we will hang on to all your personal information and browsing habits so that those nasty hackers don’t get it. Enjoy the New Freedom!

I didn’t know that. Either of them (they apparently work for Firefox, too).
Firefox never moved to Chrome. They still maintain their own rendering engine.
Technically, only Chromium, not only Google Chrome, what with the former being the open source most work off of.
Small difference, yes.

I have become one of them.

In all honesty though,Firefox ftw.

Looks like I might give Chrome a Second Try.

Pressing F6 works as well in most of the explorers I think
Right, I forgot it was L.
@Prof.NightJack
I usually just use ctrl+l (letter L) to type in the URL, and ctrl+k to do a search.
Heretic! Don’t you realize the apocalypse is the cleanse the world of people like

It’s not called a short cut if it’s the long way
