Because open source software (OSS) is taking over the world, optimizing open source contributions is becoming an essential competitive strategy. OSS is a faster, more collaborative, and more flexible way of driving software innovation than proprietary-only code. However, open source is not a panacea. Their concerns are valid.

A bug had been filed suggesting that Chrome download speeds (such as those measured by speedtest.net ) seemed to be affected by some anti-virus software.
