Yeah, Chrome isn't so good that I find a need for the open source community to maintain a fork of it. ⌘Space Safari and I get on with my life.

It's been interesting to experience Internet Explorer, then Firefox, Chrome, and finally coming back to operating system default browsers with Edge and Safari and being perfectly content.

The leverage Microsoft and Apple are utilizing with their operating system ecosystems is fairly pleasant, creating better out of the box experiences. Installing more software just feels like such a nit-picky user experience that I don't want, especially with refreshing my systems now and again.




Why is this downvoted so heavily? It's a legitimate opinion. I don't agree with it and you may not either, but it highlights the fact that for at least a portion of the user base the default browser may be an acceptable option.


I would appreciate it more if people mentioned why my comment doesn't contribute to the discussion, but I think it's more realistic to say that I've been downvoted simply because someone didn't like what I had to say.


I didn't downvote you, but perhaps people are thinking that attitudes like the one presented in your original comment are what lead to IE6 and the general state of the internet in the late 90s / early 2000s?


Could be; I can understand that.
