Browser makers are a bunch of whiny little girls

Not happy with the fact that few people bothered to install them because windows already had IE, they complained to the EU and forced Microsoft to offer them as an option. But that wasn't enough. Apparently they aren't prominent enough in the new screen that UE users will be shown, and so might still not get installed. Let me get a tissue for my eyes.

Who has even heard of the the Green Browser ? And more to the point, when I did go there to see what it was like, their site immediately redirected me to a Chinese video porn site.

So the moral of the story is this :

If your product is not good enough to make it on it's own, use the government to do your work for you and force those who can market better to do your work for you.

So when does Apple have to offer a choice of 12 browser to go with the default PoS Safari that ships with every copy of OS X ? Oh, that's right. They don't have to. They are special.

To be fair, OSX probably has about the same market share as Green Browser.

Also, remember Big Guy = Bad Guy. Lesson? Don't become the leader in any industry. It just makes you the bad guy.
