Chrome trumps Firefox on Google Pack

Google Chrome recently got promoted to version 1.0 and dropping the beta label. At the same time, it also got another promotion on Google Pack, pushing back FireFox down as the default web browser.

The list on the new Google Pack has Chrome “checked” by default and FireFox “unchecked”, displacing the latter in just less than 3 months after it was first revealed {via}.

This isn’t surprising and I’ve sort of expected this to happen (though not this soon). We even saw how FireFox ran to Yahoo! for some help.

Google will not completely remove FireFox from Google Pack nor totally stop promoting the browser as there’s still money to be had between the browser toolbar and the default search. Google even used to pay $1PHP 59INR 85EUR 0.95CNY 7 for every Firefox referrals installed. The Google-Mozilla partnership generates hundreds of millions of dollars in ad clicks annually.

I think the next time we’ll be seeing Chrome in the news is that it’s been included on the preinstalled packages of OEM machines from Dell and the rest of the big names.

I still prefer Firefox. Chrome lacks vital features that I need, such as Print Preview.

I’m a chrome and firefox user… Yes chrome is better and faster than the other browser today. I’m not yet convinced that chrome is the best browser, for me Firefox is still the best just because of their extensions and add-ons. So if chrome can beat or surpass Firefox extensions and add-ons then I’m convinced. :D
