Three members of Google Chrome team recently participated in a reddit IAmA discussion. In this discussion, Peter Kasting, Jeff Chang and Glen Murphy from Chrome team answered questions of reddit users.
One interesting question asked by reddit user ‘p222′ was: I use Firefox. How does this make you feel?
And, the Chrome team replied:
Several people on the team (like me) used to contribute to Firefox, and I think most of us still have a fond place for it in our hearts. From a more intellectual perspective, Firefox is doing exactly what Chrome’s mission is to do, namely, to move the web forward. Every person who uses Firefox (instead of, say, IE 6) is a victory in our minds.
It’s also nice that there are multiple browsers which do all the important stuff well but make different design choices, especially in UI. That means that we’re all free to choose a feature set that serves our users best while knowing that the users who’d do better with something else have a legitimate alternative. From a UI perspective, a browser monoculture would impose a lot of frustrating constraints. [...]
That’s great, we’re fans of Firefox. But you should give Chrome a try too!
