I just want to mention that I have no plans to adapt the upcoming Chrome

).
And, boy, do I hope they have no plans to do the same with our product names.
If one waits long enough we get to see the same behavior repeat itself
over and over and over. Same as the '90s with Microsoft where they would
adopt some defacto standard, extend it well out beyond what the original
standard ever did and then kill the original. However MS were unable to
kill TCP/IP and failed in many ways with many of their little ideas. So
this behavior by Google is just ... silly. At best. Stupid would be a
better word. It may be time to stop using Chrome everywhere and just be
good open source humans and focus on the upstream FireFox which works
just awesome everywhere. My 0.02bt worth.
