Suck my chrome

So if you’ve been on the internet the last few days, you’ve heard about the new browser project from Google; Chrome. It has some rather provocative features, I think, but I haven’t tried it yet myself.

Why? Because Google has only released a Windows version. No Mac version; no POSIX version. Just Windows.

Just who the hell does Google think is building the web, anyway? At least Sergey Brin thinks it’s embarrassing.

I think bitching about Windows supersedes any real desire for you to go out and try Chrome. Jeez, run Parallels or something.

I, personally, haven’t tried Chrome and have no desire. I like seeing new innovation and open source-ness. However, my favorite Firefox plugin is Ad-block. Like IE, there’s no way Google would let that come to pass on their browser.

By the time I’ve purchased Parallels and a Windows Vista or XP license, I’ve paid at least $200 for very much closed-source software just so I can try Chrome.

I could do it at work, but still, it’s not fun.
