you're beginning to scare me

Scare you how?

Also, it's very, very rare to see the correct use of an apostrophe on this site!

you're beginning to sound like a Google Fanboy


see i'm not a complete idiot.i know a thing or two about a thing or two

T&C for web apps are only relating to what your browser allows out, or what you enter in your profile.

T&C for windows are scary, but the "windoze" is quite tamed by a good firewall and a browser.

However, if you have an agent browser like Google, you're all at their service!

(I know, I know. However, neither it is appropriate to start a sentence with "also"... I am not ragging on you, bud. It's just the funniest time to make a grammatical correction right over another correction being made! )

I wasn't making a correction, I was making a comment.


Doesn't make them any less scary, and people rarely read them, which is a problem. It gets worse with cloud computing, when people store their photos, email and documents on websites. Where is the distinction between a website and an application?


So, the fact you can shut Windows up with a firewall makes it okay?!?!?


People have read the source code for Google Chrome (it is open source, remember), and it checks the URLs you visit again the exact same list as Firefox.

It's no better or worse than Firefox with regards to privacy.

I for one, welcome more browsers. Competition can only make browsers better.

You can read the Chrome Ts&Cs here: http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_text.html

Especially note the section that says:


The Windows XP Home EULA is here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/eula/home.mspx

Agree, chrish.

About people entering everything about them on all kinds of websites. I think this is the way it is going to be:

1-People keep more and more of their stuff in the cloud.
2-Someone commits a crime, while having most of his ideas and plans in the cloud.
3-Government makes it their explicit goal to know what's in there, on everyone.

There is no escape. It is already partially true.

It is true, they will also listen to your phone calls, and go through your bins. Governments are abusing our liberties both on and offline, and have been for a while.

I participate in data mining doping. I regularly lie on those registration forms and have an alias name for non-important web registrations. The phone numbers I enter are just random ones. I like to use 1313 Mokingbird Lane for an addy and almost always use 90210 for the zip, thank you Spelling entertainment.

Chrome works like a charm. I love the minimalist, no-nonsense design.

Awww ever since Firefox 3.2 has gone to ****, chrome is my new browser.

I couldn't play yahoo games online with a close friend (yet a week prior i could? pfft). i even had to downgrade to 3.1 to be able to right click on any web page...

firefox is slowly going to suffer from internet-explorer-syndrome (copyright!). chrome is great - few perks i hate but meh gets the job done

i am in middle of downloading I.E. 8
does anyone think firefox3 is better? do you have more privacy? Should I make the transition? You folks sure make firefox sound better than i.e.

Truth be told, ANY browser other than Internet Exploder would be a better choice, whether it be Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome, Apple's Safari, or Maxthon. While IE 8 supposedly has new tricks up its sleeve that evidently help with online security and stability, those tricks have come about six versions too late.

I'll divide my time between Firefox and Opera in terms of browsers, for the most part. I've tried Safari for a short while (not to impressed with it, really) and Google Chrome, but FireFox and Opera are my main go-to browsers.

Did not care for it much
