and yet, the saddest thing of them all, is that one can just... install Chrome!

it's not like the dark ages of IE6, where having to resort to use IE6 was also forcing to use Windows as well and forcing to use a dated, closed, non standards compliant browser.

Chrome is free, available essentially everywhere, standards compliant, fast and with cutting edge web features.

And that's a pity, that's what makes it just too easy to create a monopoly.
