Mozilla to end support for Firefox 2

The Mozilla Foundation is planning to end support for the Firefox 2 browser in mid-December, despite the persistence of significant flaws in the most-recent version of the popular browser.

I fear that the support may end but users won't switch - I still get 20%+ visitors using Firefox2. Not sure I can cross this browser off my list of browser which I design websites to render in.

Google Chrome User Agent

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.A.B.C Safari/525.13

I am already seeing Chrome hit around 1% of my web traffic. Luckily Veign renders fine in Chrome and the website I checked, that I designed, work fine too. No worries for me, yet.

Answers to common Google Chrome objection

• This browser is going to have AdSense hard-coded into a browser frame that I can’t delete, right?
• Hmm. Well, I bet you hard-code Google as the default search engine, don’t you? I’ll bet you can’t even select other search engines!
• Okay, but this browser is tracking everywhere I go and sending that information to
• Another browser? Geez, I’m a webmaster/search engine optimizer/front-end
• Clearly launching a web browser means that Google is losing its focus on core search quality, right?
• Does this mean that you don’t love/support Firefox or the Mozilla Foundation?
• Speaking of Macs and Linux, why no Mac/Linux support yet?
• This is going to be some buggy, crashing piece of beta download, isn’t it?
• Google has some selfish motivation for doing this, right? I’m sure that there’s some angle here--there’s gotta be?
• Will Google stop actively working on Google Chrome and let it stagnate after a few months?
• Dude, this anonymous commenter said that Google claims that they own everything you touch when you run Chrome! Should I be worried?

Google just officially confirmed that it will release a new open-source web browser, called Google Chrome (that link should go live sometime tomorrow).
