Firefox and Chrome(-ium). They are 2 different browsers, based on 2 different rendering engines, developed by different teams. But what to they have in common?
Yeah, but you see ... what if I don't like Chrome and its UI ? Why does FF have to just copy Chrome ? It reduces my choices. It makes FF lose credibility, because it is just trying to be a clone of Chrome. Why do they do it ?
Even though Microsoft Internet Explorer is still used by visitors, it does not belong to the category of free open source software. Purists can object that Chrome is also not FOSS. But Chromium is, and everything what works in Chromium also works in Chrome (but not vice versa).
So, we left with Firefox and Chrome(-ium) options.
Pffft.
If firefox extensions worked in IE, would that make it 'belong to the catagory of free open source software'? Of course not.
