Firefox vs. Chrome… who cares?
.
After reading a short Tech Crunch Story about Chrome vs. Firefox market share I found myself thinking, who cares about this? For years there has been a push by developers and supports of open standard pushing Firefox over Internet Explorer, mainly because Microsoft was trying to control the web via their own standards by not supporting Open Standards and pushing their own versions of HTML, Javascript, etc. Personally I think the more browsers there are the better, just as long as they all support the standards.
That is why proposed “battle” between Firefox and Chrome that TechCrunch is pushing does not really exist. They are both excellent browsers and both support the Open Web-standards. So does it really matter to anyone beside Google and the Mozilla Foundation which browser has a larger market share? I don’t think so.
For me this is the future of computing, a completely open set of standards and technologies that make the type of computer, phone, web browsers, tablet you are using irrelevant. They all talk to each other and work.
