    How can these guy's do this? I just spent the last hour trying to figure out why google chrome was inside firefox. Come on, google steals android name, gets sued, firefox adds chrome to it's browser? Or was it always firefox-chrome, and google stole the name from them, too? Either way there's enough words around there's no need to screw people up and use the same words that mean two "totally" different things.

        I think there's been some serious confusion here, between the term "chrome," which is used to refer to the elements of a web browser other than the page itself (i.e. the toolbars, menus, etc..) and "Chrome," which is the name of a browser built by Google. The former, non-proper noun, has been used by many different browsers for years. It was likely the inspiration for the latter.

          Ironic, considering Google Chrome almost completely lacks "chrome".
