Anything that google has to offer is verboten on my computer. Google archives every move you make on the internet. I didn’t realize how much until I used the ghostery plug in for firefox.. EVERY single website that I go to has at least one google webbug (sometmes multiple ones).. I value my privacy too much to willingly let google track me..
Ghostery makes it much harder for them to do so..

I don’t run Linux but I just removed Chrome from my computer. It seems as though Google as multiple things going on in the background that just keep slowing down my computer.

Just to get Linux Chrome to work I had to do some work. After nailing down the bugs to get it up and running I’ve notice the animated graphics slow down in Linux Chrome. That and having to having to relearn things like bookmarks and how to search items keeps me using Firefox. (Plug Google is Liberal and tracking info all the time)

That's more than three-times faster than Firefox 3.5.6 with its 2,969.4 milliseconds on the exact same machine. Wow.

3.776901552 times faster, you nerd (the author).

I've been using Chrome on my Ubuntu machine. It seems a little faster than firefox, but I really can't live without Adblock and Noscript on Firefox.
