I had a question about firefox chrome earlier, and so I added the tag chrome to it When I submitted the question, it had turned chrome into google-chrome with a little google chrome icon beside it. Is that really necessary?

    [browser-chrome] is more specific and probably more helpful in this case.

  • @al-everett thanks, you're right. Still, it seems biased to associate the word chrome with google chrome; how was I to know that chrome would refer to the google type? And how was I to think of [browser-chrome] as the proper tag? It could have been [firefox-chrome], [mozilla-chrome], [xul-chrome], etc.

Yes - is a synonym for . It's entirely deliberate, to give a canonical tag name, making it easier to search etc.

    And the little icon indicates a sponsored tag, whose usability is orthogonal to tag synonyms.
