Simply visit Google.com, Gmail, Youtube or any other Google-site and await the Chrome-spam 100% guaranteed to appear in any browser not Chrome.
My favorite one: “Upgrade your browser”. Not misleading at all, eh? How about “no”?
Their support team responds to (numerous) requests from multiple users about it saying roughly "cannot be disabled without buying but we'll let engineering dept. know you want that". Yeah, right, like it's an engineering problem.
Worse yet -- if you have >1 Nest camera, and you DO pay for Nest Aware on some but not all of them, the banner still shows up on any camera views you aren't subscribing for.
It's really crappy because the bottom bar is a fixed height, so if you shrink the browser window it can easily take up >=50% of your viewport. Absolutely absurd -- only option once you have their hardware is to use a plugin/bookmarklet to kill the nag bar's CSS. =(
I'm never going to leave a review.
My review will of course focus mostly on my most recent experience with the app, which was "getting annoyed with an obnoxious pop-up". I hope that this discourages app authors from doing that.
Also FF, Chrome and Safari ARE upgrades to Edge/IE by any reasonable metric.
You've probably never had to write a non-trivial cross browser app. Try it and then let's see how you feel.
You grossly overestimate what the average user wants to do. The average user doesn't even know the difference between browsers, rarely (if ever) uses bookmarks, and considers printing a web page an advanced task.
Annotating webpages is something that a tiny sliver of power users will use.
If you say "I upgraded my stereo system", I would consider the chance you meant that to imply you got better versions of the same devices from the same manufacturer to be essentially nil.
I'm that respect, it may seem misleading if you do a lot of work with computer or have for many years, buts maybe it isn't much to a layperson?
I think you either have more respect for manufacturers and how they advertise, or have a higher estimation for people's ability to successfully wade through marketing bullshit than me.
Here's a question, is replacing your stereo cables with gold plated monster cables an "upgrade"? What do you think the average person thinks.
> Chrome and FF are effectively comparable
that depends quite a bit on the criteria used to judge them. If you value your privacy, I don't think the are comparable (as a synonym for similar) at all.
