Google The KILLER

Google killed Firefox. No I am not going to write "Google is going to kill Firefox" because the very moment Google announced Chrome, Firefox died.

So many people love Google, including all those who hate Microsoft as the evil force. However, more than Microsoft, Google kills open source, and the murder of Firefox is a prime example.

Open source folks would jump up and question, what the hell Microsoft was doing at OSCON?. But how many are questioning, what the hell Google did to Firefox?

If anyone argues, that it is not only Firefox, but also IE that is going to be killed, I doubt that. Firefox is not a company, it is an open source project that is funded by companies, like Google. Now that Google has competing interests to those of Firefox,  no one knows what would happen to those funding, irrespective of agreements. IE is backed by a Giant company, and they will have enough money to invest in best brains and keep on competing with Chrome.

Web developers now worry that they now have yet another browser to support. Soon it will come down to two, IE and Chrome, and of course different versions of those.

RIP Firefox.
