    Google Chrome

    Is anyone out there using Google Chrome as a browser? I find it a helluva lot faster than my Firefox - loads faster from scratch, and loads bookmarks faster, and just does everything faster.

    When I uninstalled it (for being crap, slow, and full of compatibility errors) I had to manually remove many of the registry entries it left behind.

    There's just something slightly creepy and sinister about the way Google put their arm round your shoulder and say "Fed up with Microsoft? Join us and everything will be ok. Just click 'accept' and never question us. We're free, remember, and we don't do coughmuchcough evil. When you wake up, everything will be just fine."

    Common guys!! I need some guidance here. It is faster than Firefox on my old PC, and does what I need it to do.

    If there is something wrong with it, please let me know what it is. Thanks.

    Guidance? Yeah, delete that crap!

    There's your guidance. Google will peer into the depths of all your online activities without your knowledge, but since you hit "accept" they already have your consent.

    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    OK! so here's the question: supposing I don't ever surf anything confidential, then is it serious if I use Google Chrome? I find it a helluva lot faster, both loading from scratch as well as surfing than Firefox. I mean I don't say that many really bad things in the forum, and I really don't care if they see that I like Kimi better than Bunsen.

    What the hell can they do with all that information? Take ioan for instance; if he used Google Chrome, he'd drive Google crazy!!

    They will be in a position to advertise crap to you, talk crap about you and sue the crap out of you in the court, if they really want to. Chances of that happening are slim, but who knows...
