Comment: Forked After Proprietary Update? (Score 5, Informative) 139

I thought it was forked only because of the bloatware, not the license as the headline suggests ("meaningful headline in slashdot", etc etc).

Actually, the fork's author only mention about the license in his blog post was:

This classic version didn’t have much to it, and what’s more it was licensed under the Apache 2.0 License. Fork’s Away!

If I read that correctly, he seemed happy about the license only because it allowed him to fork it.

I have installed Chrome on my parent's computers. I myself use Chrome, even though I love Firefox's extensions.

The single reason for my switch: PERFORMANCE

Firefox takes many seconds to start (I have four extensions) and even scrolling seems slow. Want to zoom in a page? Go make yourself some coffee while you wait. And then comes the nasty Flash game that crashes or slows down the whole browser. Chrome seems to render pages at a fraction of the time and it takes a lot more open tabs to slow it down (hehe.)

Years ago, in Brazil, restaurants all over were sportings signs that read something along the lines of

Leftovers will be charged R$ 3,00

With the actual value varying, but ranging from 10% to 30% of the total amount.

This was illegal, but the owners a) didn't seem to care about the legal status and b) didn't actually enforce the rule.

In the end, those signs served as a harsh and unpopular (among the clients) reminder of not putting more on your plate than you can eat. Good intentions, bad execution.
