Its added value to your surfing experience. I can open multiple tabs without hang-up so far, which I experienced with IE7.0.

I don't know the effect on PPC yet. Which I'm sure google will control the direct navigation of ads soon. A browser and a search engine.

Google is trying to side step any government intervention by pushing the 'open-source' motto. Sure, wouldn't it be great if all these other browsers copied us and helped us control the traffic?
Anyone recall the issues with subliminal advertising - like the quick flashes of a coke and popcorn, right before a drive-in movie started? This site suggestion pattern is manipulative advertising to the 100 degree!
The internet becomes less open and much less equal when the search engines can manipulate WHAT people search and not just HOW they search. Major conflict of interest.
There may be no drastic changes yet, but make no mistake, this will have an enormous impact on domainers whose business model was based on type-ins. |
You nail it.

If you rely much on Typos/TMs you could be in big trouble with a looming huge decline in their resale values. I can see them dropping in value by at least 90% due to these 2 double-whammies. |
No doubt about it. One of their objective is to remove the "garbage" of Internet. They can easily redirect typo or trademarks owner to their respective "real" owner website.

This will hurt more than anything extensions making them useless very soon. Google is going for the big pie, why sharing? Now the address bar and the search are all the same it does not matter anymore. On chrone google.co resolves to google. Will google.cm soon redirect to google? Anyway once you try there is no going back. It is so much faster so much better than the others. I love the downloads the privacy page and everything else. With gmail this is the best product google launched by far. We are doomed  |
OpenDNS is already using redirecting typo to the real website, for example google.cm google.co redirect to google.com website. Small companies already using openDNS on their network.
