Post Google Chrome
Google's new browser.
www.google.com/chrome

I'm posting this with Chrome and I love it, it loads pages much faster then FF3.
Here is a javascript test, look at my results (while having CSS open).
Blows all other browsers out of the water (almost).

i dont like firefox
but i dont like that google records and stores all your searches in a database forever. I suspect their browser will send data to be recorded as well. AOL is best for overall security but everyone knows aol sux :(

Actually yeah, this browser actually thrives on the fact that it records your sites and tunes the new tab page to that (EDIT: I guess reading their privacy policy further, they'll only collect your usage data if you check the box that lets them, take it for what it's worth though).

Of course, you can bypass all of that by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + N, which lets you surf in incognito mode...but yeah, it's sorta unsettling to me as well.

So far, I like it, it's not bad. n00bfest.com did lock me out though when I tried visiting with this browser (said I was trying to force the site down, lol).

i'm glad you say the browser works well, but like ozark said, i'm worried about them collecting info from me. google is a very scary and strange monster. i'd love to know if they've ever receive and funding/payments from the gov't.

You know if they really wanted to .. in about 10 years they could sell all their search data to the government. Then the government would have a semi accurate profile on people.

You can be profiled by the things you search on the net according to google.

Thats why I only search 'good' stuff on google and fap stuff on yahoo / aol ;)

Pro-tip: Don't look at kitty porn and the government won't know you do when Google sells them records.

Guys, about the TOS, it says that on every single Google Service TOS. EULAs/TOS's usually don't hold up in court.

The only data Google collects is the data from the "auto-complete" bar. And being open-source, I'm sure someone would say something if they looked through the code and found that it send everything you've ever written on the internet to Google.

And I doubt Skyne- I mean Google is going to take over the world with our user info.
