Oh boy - I feel like the guy who came to a WWII themed party dressed as Kaiser Wilhelm.
I dislike allthings firefox - never been a fan - they basically lost the browser race years ago but no-one told them and they keep going in the hope that their fans will see them through.
Chrome - its Google - like Apple back in the early 90's they have this morally superior (company motto: "do no evil"), fairtrade, ethical sandal wearing, hippy-esque mentality in public but in reality they like Apple, like Microsoft, like facebook, like EA
are a cutthroat, ruthless, morally corrupt, money making machine that cares not for the customer but only for how they can sell you stuff.
they steal each other's technology, ideas, code and anything else they can get their hands on and in the process lose their corporate identities and become
limiters to your ability instead of being the
enablers that they claim
Search on Bing and it is indistinguishable from a Google search in terms of appearance. I started using Bing about 2 years ago because it was different but now...
I have used IE9 very briefly and had no problems - my main dislike of it is that it is just like Chrome which I find empty - where are the buttons and tools that i have grown accustomed to from IE6,7,8....
the only reason I use Chrome is because my work laptop reverts to IE7 by default and some sites (like FB or Battlelog) don't work properly with my 'outdated browser' and Chrome is the only alternative I am allowed to install.
As for people complaing about IE installing toolbars I find Java is the worst for this, always trying to put a blasted Ask or Google toolbar on my machine as part of a bundled upgrade - Adobe does it too.
bring on the world of the future where I can do all this cr*p via the nanotech neural link I have embedded in my brain!
