Google is bent on establishing platform domination unlike anything we've ever seen, even from late-1990s Microsoft. Google controls Android, which is winning; Chrome, which is winning; and key Web properties in Search, Youtube, Gmail and Docs, which are all winning. The potential for lock-in is vast and they're already exploiting it, for example by restricting certain Google Docs features (e.g. offline support) to Chrome users, and by writing contracts with Android OEMs forcing them to make Chrome the default browser.
Chrome and Firefox are again blocking direct access to The Pirate Bay's download pages. According to Google's safe browsing program, ThePirateBay.org is a "deceptive site" that may steal user information. The TPB crew has been alerted to the issue and hope it will be resolved soon.
Yeah, that is Google being stupid as usual. Both Chrome & Firefox use Googles faulty attack protection layer. Chrome obviously being made by Google. Not sure how to disable it in Chrome since i do not use that garbage but in Firefox just go to Tools > Options > Security, & uncheck "Block Dangerous and Deceptive Content".
PC World - It's a power struggle for the age of the web, as we test major browsers in a carefully controlled battery-rundown test. Which one will kill your laptop first? The answer's not as simple as you'd think.
Chrome, Firefox and Safari are actively blocking direct access to The Pirate Bay. According to the browsers, Thepiratebay.se is a "deceptive site" or "web forgery," that may steal user information. The TPB crew has been alerted to the issue, and hope it will be resolved soon.
Oh gosh!! This news really hurt me as i used to download each and every media from piratebay. If the points that it can steal data from our pc's are right then i will say that they did right.
Nah, I'm content with Chrome.
