If they want to collect your private information, they should first and foremost tell the users what they are using it for. Thats a must.

Ha...Firefox has finally fixed the issues with its last update...I am able to use it for my classroom. It took a month, and now I have grown to like using Chrome....so maybe it's too little, too late....

Keveneed,

From a Personal Privacy point of view I don't like Chrome one bit.

I don't like the fact that Google has access to so much of my Data and is not exactly very transparent about how they choose to monetize it.

Why give them more  personal data(by using their Browser)???

The way I look at it;Ultimately the Market decides.

See what happened with Instragram after they abruptly announced they would sell Consumer Photos without even informing Consumers first?


They have lost over 25% of their Userbase since that announcement.

Talk about an Own Goal!!!

Regards

Ashish.

So I'm assuming that you don't like Google Chrome?

Keveend,

Actually I don't have any one preferred browser.

I oscillate between IE,Firefox and Opera depending on which one patches the fastest and has least open Security Vulnerabilities at any point of time.

They are doing a stupid thing when it comes to this. Considering the competition they already have, loosing their loyal subjects isn't the kind of thing they want to be doing right now.

I really liked Firefox too, but as I said in my other post with the latest update, the sites I need to use quit functioning properly. Since I started using Chrome I haven't had to switch back and forth between browsers depending on the site I am using. Personally I hope that Firefox can "work out the kinks" because I did like the browser. I check it every couple days to see if my classroom for example is functioning in the browser, but so far, no go. =(

In your opinion, what do you consider to be the best browser, overall? And the reasons why you have selected it over the others.

Many of my friends have recommended that chrome is way better than firefox.

Sometimes when they come over and see that my principal browser is firefox, they say that it is so last century.

Personally firefox feels like my kind of browser.

Businesses often struggle to decide which domain to use. When it comes to purchasing a domain name, you have plenty of extensions to choose from, ranging from .com and .net, to .me, and even .mobi. But which one should you pick?

In the 1970 science fiction thriller Colossus: The Forbin Project, two giant supercomputers from the United States and Soviet Union secretly join forces to take control of the collective nuclear might of the two countries. In the film, the two machines discover each other's existence, communicate back-and-forth, share their collective data, and cut their human creators out of the process. It is the ultimate example of machine-to-machine communications, or M2M.

Argument Over Top-Level Domains Is 'Stupid'

The whole Amazon.reader debate is a double-stupid. It's stupid to think that there's any e-book buyer who doesn't know Amazon's URL, and it was stupider to let ICANN launch the whole free-form TLD initiative to start with.
