This is an example of why I feel it is not healthy for so many browsers to rely on Google's technology.
As a Firefox user, I frequently find Google properties, including those embedded in other pages (Maps for example), failing to work. I strongly suspect that these are deliberately kludged, to help enforce a monoculture.

That wasn't malware!
by google's definition, "malware" is anything that prevents them milking every last penny out of everyone.
It's things like ad-blockers that are malware!
