Which means that a) it's cookie based, so if you lose your cookies you have to do it again, or b) Gmail communicates with your computer, giving more room for Google to spy on you.

Does this mean that you'll use Internet Explorer?

Just because you disable the recommendations, doesn't mean Google stops spying on you. They have their ways.

I find that hard to believe. Aren't you over exaggerating this a little?

Google does all this to spy on you http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron_chrome_vs_iron.php

Anything but Chrome please. I don't want Google to spy on me and then start suggesting me searches or some other creepy shit. I'd even rather much use IE over Chrome.

This.

(If anything, I find that spyware provides a nice moral incentive not to search for illicit material.

Eh, i don't think they are spying on you. It's more of gathering data to better provide the service. Who is really spying on you is NSA, or whatever your country has + NSA, by just going to the internet with any browser thanks to your ISP, having to let organizations like these look over their shoulders.

Some of those "problems" don't appear to be bad at all. I don't see how search suggestions are a problem, seeing as they're helpful and you were going to send a search query to Google anyway. Crash reports and auto-updating also seem fine, since they're just there to enhance stability and don't involve personal information. The rest of the complaints seem valid to me.

I use Firefox. The only flaw is that Facebook crashes a shitton because of scripts not responding...
other then that, it works great.

So, uh, I made the switch from Chrome to Safari (Apple's default browser) because of a bunch of formatting issues Chrome was giving me on Youtube. I expected Safari to suck (Apple default, people) but it surprisingly isn't bad. It's weirdly faster than chrome on my computer and supports pretty much everything I've encountered.

I find it ironic that the Apple browser loads Youtube better than the Google browser.

It's because you're working on a Mac. Seems pretty logical to me? :p Apple has done ubermagical optimizing or something.

Probably the cause. I can't find a difference in speeds between firefox, IE and chrome on my PC, (probably because of the amount of ram), but then when I compared firefox and chrome on my linux laptop chrome was WAAAY faster (probably because my laptop is slower and its linux)

Safari seems to go faster on my laptop. I run Windows 7 and the laptop I have has like 2 GB of RAM, which isn't a lot.

Chromium is also fast, but takes time on loading sometimes.

I don't think there is one internet browser that would meet Arisotura's expectations.

Mmm... I'm installed Chrome but because my RAM is 1 GB, causes the computer from sticking...
Uses Mozilla Firefox, and all the pages works fine (this, and others). You have the last update of Firefox?

Yeah, chrome seems to have some memory leaks in windows. I use it on my 1GB ram linux laptop and it works fine, but you need more ram if you want to run it on windows apearently
