"DISCUSS AMONGST YOURSELVES"
Techie Pingie
How much of your activities feed back to Google, the people whose stated goal is to control all the World’s information [and help dictatorships control their people]?
I have used Firefox and don’t have the problems the article speaks of.
Chrome is pretty cool. So fast, especially if you have an older computer.
Yeah, it’d take an awful lot to sway me away from Firefox.
I’ve been using Safari for a while now and I am impressed with its speed and features. The only beef I have with it is I like the text as large as possible, and this makes the pages kinda funky looking at times. Bear in mind I’m no techie (I don’t even play one on TV.) How does Chrome compare to Safari?
Eff Google.
Google is an evil leftwing conspiracy.

Is anyone familiar with the Google Latitude cell phone location tracker?
I’ve had it installed for 6 months.
I almost never use it.
No third party add-ons.
No Chrome. No way.
Try it. You won’t like it.
I tried Chrome awhile back. It’s probably better now but at the time it couldn’t hold a candle to Firefox. In any case, I use the Delicious Firefox plugin for bookmarking and toolbar organization and I think it would not be possible to improve on their design. Easy to tag and you can build a toolbar that is filtered on any tag you like. That is an unbeatable implementation of bookmarks. For me it is easy - no Delicious plug-in - no chance for Chrome.
When will Chrome be on Linux?
Windows only. No sale.
I use Opera on Linux.
I’ve tried Opera before, but it just didn’t appeal to me.
I used to use Konqueror for everything, but now am using Firefox (actually Iceweasel) for most things.
There are things I dislike about Firefox...on x86-64, you can run the 32-bit-only Flash player, but there are weird problems sometimes. And, as the article states, it is a memory hog. It’s also pretty slow, even on a fairly powerful machine.
I don’t know why, but it seems Firefox crashes a lot on Linux.
I don’t care how good it is. I have never had the problems mentioned above with Firefox. I want NOTHING to do with The google gestapo.
