Chrome is fast, that’s for sure. What I am not sure of is how much information Chrome is sending back to Mothership Google about your browsing habits.

FireFox is, IMO, the best established browser out there. IE has been a steaming pile for a long, long time.

I think Chrome is the best out there. It’s fast and has some cool features. And this is from a guy who, up until recently, would only use IE.

I”m totally not a geek, but I liked Firefox when I was using a PC. Before that I had Netscape tho, because I hated Internet Explorer.

There are other ones too. Some Linux installs have a browser I’ve never heard of elsewhere.

but is FireFox also ‘sending info back to Mothership GOOGLE?

FireFox features unclude: “location-aware browsing (also known as “geolocation”) based exclusively on a Google service[15] and an integrated search system that uses Google by default in most localizations.”
