So why does the world need Google Chrome?

So Google is promoting the heck out of this browser. I see it being
prominently advertised on Youtube.

Why? I keep hearing Firefox is the last word in browsers. What's
special about Google Chrome?

If a BMW is so good, why make a Ford or Chevy or Volkswagen or any other
car?

 

With cars there are issues of affordability that are moot with free
browsers.

Mega-Corporation Google has obviously invested resources in developing
and promoting this browser when there are already many free browsers.
Makes me wonder why.

One thing that sticks out from what I've read so far to distinguish it
is that it does worse than several other browsers regarding certain
security issues.

Is there anything it does better than also free Firefox?

 

I think that Chrome is just one of the things Google is preparing for
cloud computing.

Google Chrome is there to appease the plebiscites. There will always be a
group of daft morons and Google Chrome was written specifically for these
peons.

 

And for googling the difference between plebiscite and plebeian.

Actually no! People have told me they are going to kill me too. But they
never did yet. I guess you don't know the difference between a figure of
speech and literal, do you?

More browsers means competition and you get better browsers. It's a
win-win situation for the consumers.

 

No, you just get morons inappropriately cross-posting their inane questions.

My point is: disregard the cost, since IE/FF/Chrome are all the same
price, people drift to one or the other for feature. Just one of the
many reasons people drift to one car over another, feature, feel, look.
Few people look behind the works, to the security, durability.
Most people look at what's up front.

 

"Plebescites"? You might want to look up the meaning of that word.

 

To make money of course.

 

Not everybody is as smart as you.

 

Don't try to use *big* words on me chrome dome.

 

The Javascript in Chrome is blisteringly faster than in any other browser.

The speed differences in such programs as

I wonder why...

Not necessarily. It may just be a waste of human resources. Couldn't
Google's software team have used their time better developing
something the consumers don't already have umpteen of?
