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.

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?

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.

The memory leak has been a persistent problem with Firefox, since about version 0.7. It isn’t quite as bad now, but it still exists.

The largest memory usage I ever had was 800mb under version 2.

Under version 3, it typically ranges between 100-200mb.

Firefox does have some nice extensions/add-ons.

[I may give Chrome a try, but I don’t like Google installing a bunch of other junk, like its toolbar, etc.]

The only solution would be to close Firefox, and restart it – either losing all my tabs. . .I routinely shut down Firefox with open tabs. It asks if you want to save them and I reply "yes". Next time I start Firefox, they all tabs automatically open. Think I'll stick with it.

I will NEVER put anything on my computer that puts information into Google’s hands.

Search with Ixquick.

I switched about 2 months ago to Chrome. Although, I still have Firefox, and I downloaded Flock, but haven’t tried it out yet.

>>(1) One Tab, One Process <<

That’s the only one that’s compelling to me.

But I use 35 plugins that would need to be duplicated to change from Firefox.
