Do you know these things when you are thinking "Yeah, well, then everything is all settled. Everyone is happy. "And then afterwards we go again? Or so it was made at the time in the browser discussion. Who can not remember: the browser maker Opera, Mozilla and Google had complained to the EU Commission that the monopoly position of Microsoft in the browser market, affecting badly. So many use by default the Internet Explorer because of the other browsers know nothing and do not come into contact with alternative browsers. Ergo Mozilla, Opera and Google were evil.
Since then, Microsoft has bowed to the wishes and demands of the EU has done a consequence, it was thought that the topic would be off the table. A small selection of browsers after the installation of Windows should anschaukeln the competition again and creating a fair market. The user can now choose yes, what browser they wish to use. One might think that the discussion would (finally) over.
But now it hails new criticism. The whole time before I leave here blah outside and come directly to the new demands of the alternatives.
- Mozilla (Firefox) wants to rearrange the menus of the browser every time you open new arbitrary.
- Opera wants the browser selection is displayed in a neutral menu (without Microsoft logos). Moreover, the users are regularly consulted, whether he is still happy with the browser.
OK, about the design of the menu and the arrangement of the browser in the selection can discuss it. So far the browser has been listed in alphabetical order. Sun Mozilla lands on the rear seats. Thus, the criticism and of course an arbitrary arrangement makes sense. But the 2nd Proposal of Opera takes the biscuit, I suppose from the ground, right?
I should be asked every few weeks to see if I like the browser is. Whats wrong? If so, then I demand a "Yes, damn it stop now and ask!" Button. A browser is not everything on the system. This proposal of Opera is absolutely moronic. That the browser market was not fair, that's true. It is indeed with Netscape ended when Microsoft Internet Explorer by default with surrendering. But now the discussion goes too far. Those who already have no idea of browsers and can not be bothered, have to deal with other alternatives, will go over the browser and click on Allterwertesten Browserwauswahl in just the first in the list. The main thing, you can surf. And those who are familiar with the subject will also be smart enough to select a different browser. Well, what if I will then be asked constantly if I'm still happy with my choice. Then enough!
