Google Chrome

(proper noun): An overrated Web browser made by Google; praised mainly for its high speed and good security. In reality, however, it is outclassed by both its parent Chromium and its brother SRWare Iron - the main reason for its success lies within Google's amazing ability to advertise. Also has a huge tendency to start flamewars between its own users and those of Mozilla Firefox. In more extreme cases, such flamewars may also include users of Opera and Safari - or in the worst-case scenario, users of Internet Explorer as well.

User of Google Chrome: "Chrome > Firefox."
User of Mozilla Firefox: "No, Firefox > Chrome!"
(Flamewar promptly begins.)

Google Chrome

The most popular web browser of this decade. It has quickly become the default browser for every person and organization, for a good reason.

Chrome was famous for being a fast and lightweight browser, and tbh it still is. It only uses so much RAM cus people nowadays have like 50 extensions installed and 500 tabs open. Now it'd be a fat lie to say Chrome isn't hogging my RAM but people gotta consider the actual reasons behind it.

Also, Firefox is NOT better if we're strictly talking about RAM usage. In fact it eats up more RAM even in 2022. This is a fact, go look it up.

And as to the recent definitions: not everyone cares that much about privacy ya know. I genuinely don't care what Google does with my data, but if you do, then go use another Chromium-based browser like Brave, which has privacy features. It's practically Chrome but de-Googlefied. Also uses WAY less RAM.

Other than that, the differences are up to each person's tastes and needs. I find Chrome's UI to be far more modern, but to each their own. The amount of Firefox elitism here is hilarious.

Somebody: Ahhh yes, nothing beats that feeling of setting Google Chrome as your default browser 👌
Firefox Zealot: Ewwwww you mean that stinky piece of spyware???
Somebody: Chill out bro, it's just a browser bro.

Google scale

When you download the Google Toolbar, there is an option that Google gives you to let them spy on you... er, rate the pages you visit. That is called the Google Scale. Ahem.

*sings* Sometimes I feel like, my Google Scale's watching me.. *stops singing* Oh wait, it is!

google bombing

In addition to showing you pages that have the keywords a searcher is looking for, Google also shows you pages that have been linked via the searcher's keywords. Google bombing involves manipulating Google.com to display a website that has nothing to do with the searched-for term.

While the "miserable failure" google bomb is funny, I much prefer the "french military victories" google bomb.
