Even if bigs exists to work around what Google is doing, that isn’t the right way forward. If people don’t agree with Google move, the only correct course of action is to ditch Chrome (and all Chromium browsers). Hit them where it hurts and take away their monopoly over the future direction of the web.

A monopoly achieved thanks to everyone that forgot about IE lesson, and instead of learning Web standards, rather ships Chrome alongside their application.

IE was far less user-hostile than Chrome.

What exactly do you mean by this?

IE was horrible to use which is why so many people switched to Firefox. It wasn't because of web standards.

IE didn't have tabs when every other browser moved to that.

IE didn't block pop ups when every other browser would do that.
