Google has recently made attempts to make users to go for Firefox if they have been using internet explorer as their browser. Google has been provoking Gmail users to change their browser to Firefox or Chrome. As an initial step for this, messages like get faster Gmail was displayed to the users through their Gmail account.
The message came with a link to the pages which showed their support for the two browsers by Google, firefox and chrome. They explained that, Gmail will run faster in these two browsers as compared to other browsers. In this support page, Google also speaks about the latest and faster version of IE8, which is under development. They have suggested that users can download the beta version and provided a link to the page from where they could download this.
The most interesting of this is that, the message is being displayed in the accounts of users who are trying to access gmail from IE6. This is intended to promote these two browsers. The question of whether this attempt is justified or is reasonable remains unanswered. Google has the freedom to make sure that their products are safe. However, they should give users the freedom to take decisions instead.
