1. What DOES make it evil, then? Frankly, I don't care if it DOES start you off with Google. I think it would still count as "not evil."
2. It's much faster at running sites in parallel. It's not ugly. Are you kidding me? This is the most aesthetically pleasing browser I've used. Soft colors, emphasis in all the right areas. And it has native open/close buttons. Windows itself doesn't use consistent design other than those buttons, so it all works.
3. Look at the benchmarks. Firefox has had a problem with this. And it's a problem that's been pretty consistent.
I must ask, though: why the hell are you griping about this? If you like Firefox more, you can use Firefox. When you respond to a review of something, it ought to be because you've got important points to make. Like my explaining why a lot of your points are bogus. Griping for the sake of gripe is helping nobody, least of all you.
4. So you're mad at him for saying that he likes things moving seamlessly? And this did away with the opening dialog box that Firefox and Safari offer on Windows, so it's slightly improved.
5. He doesn't rank things. He points out things that he likes. Informally. Almost like, rather than writing an article, he's writing a sort of log of points. A "web log."
6. Again: a lot of people like incognito. Especially single people aged 16-22, in my experience. I also thought the little magnifying glass guy was cute.
7. But not out of the box. And having a light-weight checker is always nice.
Also - can't you CHECK things because you write posts like this? Honestly. Do some firsthand reporting.
8. No, but Google makes it a lot more transparent. And the blank opening page is pretty awesome. I'd say it even tops Opera's.
9. What does Incognito have to do with anything? This is based on Opera's Speed Dial, but it's a bit more complex.
10. So, this browser has two buttons - TWO - for opening menus. That's it. And Task Manager happens to be on the first one, underneath Developer, which was the first place I checked, because it made logical sense.
"My guess..." etc.
There is no Google Kool-Aid. Most people I know are actually pretty critical of Google. I've been displeased with a lot of their stuff lately. Doesn't change the fact that this browser is sublime and better than anything else currently on the market out-of-the-box. They even topped Safari, and Safari had a damn good out-of-the-box showing, even on Windows. I'd pick this on Windows over Webkit on Mac, actually, which is saying a lot.
You can stick to Firefox. This article doesn't talk about how much better Chrome is than Firefox. You're just acting defensive, because something groundbreaking just hit. Fair enough, but please do it in private rather than as a comment. If you've got actual criticisms of this thing, I'd love to hear them.
