Mozilla exec urges Firefox users ditch Google for Bing
And it begins. I'd love to see Google unseated from their dominant position.

That depends. What if Firefox suddenly changed their default search to Bing? The sheer convenience of using Bing in the search bar for non-technical users would trump typing in a URL, then typing in your query.
Since it just came out for Mac, I tried it out. Its good and all, but I can't live without my plugins. For casual browsing, I love Safari tho.
As were altavista and Yahoo! once... As was Standard Oil once... As was AOL once...
I pretty much only use Chrome. It's so much faster than IE/Firefox, it has better tabbed browsing (IMO), and I like the fact that you can have icons of your favorite sites (instead of folders). Plus, you can move around the tabs, unlike IE/FF.
Even if Bing were to overtake Google, what makes you guys think that Microsoft wouldn't eventually implement the same practices that Google does? Remember, we're talking about Microsoft.
None of those companies had the same copper fastened strangle hold on such a wide scale.
Google has branched into every sector of our Internet lives, and if Bing or anything else wants to push the behemoth over, their going to need to become that behemoth; something I cannot see Bing becoming, irrelevant of how many mistakes Google makes.
10 years from now, where do you see Google? Toppling over? I see them going from strength to strength unfortunately for us all.
how can you trust a site that went offline for over 30 minutes without any microsoft people knowing that their live site was down. Itwire had a post about it being offline and the only reason why they noticed was because there was hundreds of twitter posts about it.... no one could take this engine seriously now....
I don't know what version of FF you're using, but you can move the tabs in FF too... also, I find FF crashes much less than Chrome (and this was before Chrome extensions)
google is doing me just fine. I would say that I trust FF over Chrome without a doubt... I would also say that IE can almost go in to the same category as Chrome...
