If you're that concerned, go read up on what google does every time you search for something. They log your ip, keep a list of things you google for, and add it to a demographic. Big brother exists, and his name is Google.
Firefox: Still my browser of choice. 3.5 is pretty slick and handles memory better than earlier versions, and I can't live without my extensions.
Chrome: ET, phone home. It's fast, but pretty basic and as far as I know nobody's really done much to improve it yet. If you insist on trying it out, you might check out the Iron version, which is just Chrome with the privacy issues resolved.
IE8: Blech. You can't really get rid of it, and as Eggs says some sites seem to require it. A lot of the time Firefox's "User Agent Switcher" extension can fool those sites into thinking you're running IE when you're not, though.
I've been given to understand that google chrome is PURE SPYWARE, and will therefore have nothing to do with it.
I am absolutely in love with Google Chrome!!!! It is by far the fastest browser I have used!!! Yes it is VERY basic, but it is light!!! I have had some problems with it not showing certain pictures on here. I trust Firefox more for important downloads. Chrome rarely crashes on me. It has some really nice features, but I think those can be accessed by installing the Google Toolbar on other browsers. If you want a light browser for just general stuff like forums, email, facebook, myspace, normal web browsing, etc. I highly recommend Chrome. It doesn't hurt to have multiple browsers though. I have Chrome, Firefox, and IE 8 on both of my computers. I recommend against having Chrome as a default browser though, since it is new and still does have some problems. It only came off being a beta like 2 months ago. It has only been around for 1.5 years. It's just a baby.
My rating:
1) Google Chrome
2) Firefox (close behind Chrome)
...
30) IE 8
I like firefox. I was using IE 8 but after reading an article about vaulnerabilties, I switched to firefox
Even a glimmer of adequacy in your intellect would result in you putting a .45 caliber bullet through your brain and into your bedroom wall.
FireFox all the way baby... Who ever has IE8 is a weirdo.
Screw Internet Exploder. Screw Firefucked. Screw Google Gnome. Screw Floppera. I use Apple Safuckyou 4!
And deny science the greatest mind of all time? The world would lynch your ass, as they would any other NIGGER.
Yeah luci, I'm pretty sure scientists WOULD like to slice up your brain.
It's a wonder you can even use the nets with having brain cancer for this long...
You use Safari. Gee, I would never have guessed.
And peed on.Y'know, you really are a morbidly boring cunt. Would you be more interesting if you were on fire?
