Google Customized Version Of IE7 - WTF?
This was fun! I wanted to get the IE8 Beta and take a look at it but noticed the ad that left me speechless. I do understand the concept of hijacking Microsoft IE's rendering engine and writing your own pseudo-browser (like Avant Browser or AOL) but distributing custom (adding your toolbar and setting your own service as default search engine) versions of your competitor's product is really messed up ... imho!
And on top if it all ... pretending to be an upgrade?!



Google actually wants to prove Microsoft they can distribute their browser better.
Or just can’t figure out what else to do to track us around on the web.
I think you should read this.
Explained things pretty well.
