Google’s Chrome Kills the Lucrative Toolbar Business Inbox


With its new Chrome Web browser, Google is not being quite as
magnanimous to competitors as it lets on.

The company has insisted that it is not putting the thumb on the scale
to favor its own services over those of rivals. And indeed Chrome
exhibits better manners than Microsoft's Internet Explorer often has.
When you install it, it lets you pick any search engine you want as
the default. And in the unlikely event you have set some other search
engine as your favorite in another browser, such as Firefox or
Internet Explorer, it will offer to keep that choice in Chrome.
