Chrome is the best web browser out there ... really? is it ? Or it’s simply another marketing campaign? For google search, the campaign still works, but for chrome, things are getting uncovered! # Developers unsatisfaction: Google  announced  a couple days ago that the Chrome extensions not in the Chrome Web Store are now blocked for all Windows users. And the plan to expand this decision to Mac users in July 2015. Many consider this as a move to turn Chrome into a walled garden (similar to android) . This being said, developers can still install extensions via inline installation (where a user appears to install an extension directly from a website, but it is actually hosted at the Web Store), and businesses can continue to use enterprise policy. This move, will automatically ban extensions that block google ads display.

#For users: Many users have been having a very bad experience with chrome the last couple years, the browser have been loading very slowly on macs and windows computers, and have been found to consume the battery of laptops way faster than other browsers, the browser have become a memory hungry application, crashing computers with modest ram capacity.

Company says it cracked open the Hotmail account of an unnamed blogger involved in a Windows 8 espionage case in part because he was selling Windows Server activation keys.

When Google reads your emails, you get Scroogled by targeted ads.

A firm knows everything about you. Everything such as where do you live, what do you like, what you know & what you want to know, the places you visit, also the things which I forgot to mention here. The same firm has the largest internet cable network in the world & recently they also setup the largest artificial intelligence research lab. Well, if this was not enough to scare you then I should mention that now they have acquired the ‘Robotics firm’ which used to manufacture robots for military purpose. Oh yes if you guessed Google then you are totally right; Google the not so evil company with all the evil tactics. I mention evil tactics because a decade ago we saw the movie Terminator where machines took control of the world to destroy the human race. Looking at the facts I just mentioned, Google is becoming nothing less than a kind of monster.

I mean, just imagine if those machines develop some bug, & launch an attack, then where would you go? I don’t think you know a place that Google doesn’t know, your contacts that may be unfamiliar to that tech giant. In short you won’t be having many options. Ok. Blame me for fantasizing too much or being a hypocrite who loves the other side (I am for sure a MSFT fan) but what about the possibility that this firm won’t mind taking the control in their hands?

Ok, let’s talk in simpler terms. They do spy on us, collect our data whenever we use any of their services or any of their products (yes Android & Chrome top that list) then sell it to other firms to make money or write some algorithm using it to sell us products which we hardly need. Well, till this point they might not sound evil, because if they would not sell this data then how they will earn their bread & butter(their 97% revenues are based on that) but can someone really explain buying a firm that produces military size robots(we are talking about Boston Dynamics here). Someone told me they are a software firm & even I believed people till I saw their malicious browser Chrome making people fool & collecting their data. Well, not only data but also their activities. Then I read news that they are making a driverless car! Yes folks the driverless car that is running on roads since last five years, searching for the very purpose for building it. Well what kind of software firm does that? In any case they don’t buy firms which build robots that can make human race a history. I know, few uninformed supporters of Google will come up debating the usefulness of those robots, but how can they be useful to Google? I’m not thinking the possibility of making people use Google products & get killed but I should mention that those robots are quite capable of doing that.
