I think Firefox is a very easy to use software, is also very convenient, a lot of plug-ins are also good.Easy to view with identification.

I actually just switched to Chrome this last weekend. I never thought I would leave firefox, but it is just too laggy lately for me and Chrome is nice and fast.

Good thing you did. I moved over a year ago.. actually when Chrome first came out.

It is MUCH quicker than most browsers.

Though in the next day or two, they will be secretly taking our data from Chrome and storing it on their own servers.

I love it. You can move from one device to the next and still have all your bookmarks, passwords, etc.

yes but it allows them to monitor how you behave eg. what you look for and SELL this data to other companies.

So if someone wants to learn how to market to you, they would buy the data off Google and know more about you.

So what else is new? That's been going on for years in one form or fashion.
Last car I bought new from a Buick dealer and 2 weeks later my mailbox was full of ads for tires and oil changes. Selling demographic info is a big business.

A car is different.. they only have your address and name.

Chrome stores ALL your searches, bookmarks, usernames, passwords etc..

You might as well give Buick your keys to your home too. Oh and tell them where all the valuables are stored so they can take them too.

That comparison would further require your household items to regenerate.

Chrome is Safari. Just with all of Google's trackers and aggregators, spyware and adware installed. :-)

It is fast. I use both Chrome and FF, as well as Slim Browser (IE-but not bloated at all).

I installed a program, to stop any tracking of me. Working fantastic. Is sort of shocking how many sites track us around the Internet.
