I'm sick of getting chrome "recommended" to me by sites

Even the bank, for crying out loud!

Even my bank site puts up a banner (about the same size as the #$%&*@^ ribbon), demanding that I "upgrade" from one of the most advanced browsers in the world to the cr@ppy spyware called chrome.

Who's paying them for this? Google won't be.

Or is it just an ignorant prig of a banking-world web developer? "I use chrome, therefore it's the best, therefore everyone should use it!"

It's like the free advertising that adobe gets everywhere (even on the UK government site). No I don't "need" adobe acrobat to read your files!

There are dozens of pdf readers better than acrobat (all of 'em, IMO), and there are dozens of browsers better than chrome (just about all of 'em, IMO), so why are so many idiots so caught up in giving them free advertising?
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
