[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 862733"] The sad part is this is exactly what it is, Google being childish about the new Edge. I said way back when MS first released it for testing, if any browser was going to challenge Chrome in any way, this was going to be the one. Can't deny it, MS did an excellent job with this browser, probably the best one they have ever done. Security wide they are pretty much equal, so I dont see the issue. I do have to agree with MS though about their notice on extensions from the Chrome webstore. They have no control what apps are allowed on the store, that's all on Google. MS atleast can control their store, so I can see their point even if it's a little childish too. I guess this also brings up the point of open source. While it sounds good in theory and makes sense from a philosophy stand point, MS has every right like every other chromium based browser to do this, as Chromium is open source. If anything Google did this to themselves by making Chromium open source. It's a good lesson IMHO in realizing that open source isnt all peaches and rose's, there are some negatives and maybe it's worth thinking about before making something open source. [/QUOTE]
