I thought of installing Chrome; but I have qualms about using a browser associated with a company whose business model is based on harvesting people's personal information and selling it.

But no qualms about using Firefox, a company that fired its CEO for making a private contribution to a political group that opposes gay marriage?

I have a similar setup with Waterfox (64 bit Firefox). I have qualms about Mozilla's behavior, but Google's appropriation of data is personally serious, and the people running it are as bad or worse. Safari is worthless for PCs and Tim Cook isn't any good either, and even if Microsoft were good (it isn't), Edge is unusable, and IE is IE.

Sometimes, even with qualms, you wind up taking the best of available bad choices.

Tried Opera for a while, no great shakes. Just uninstalled it. Wasn’t using it anyway.

That was my thought, too. But not everybody knows that and I think the memory hole is in operation.

Chrome and Chromium are two different browsers.
