Been using chrome for quite some time. It's nice and easy, but i still have firefox installed as it works with the sites that Chrome doesn't work with.
lol
chrome is Google
Google is the company driving around in cars snooping people's wifi...
that doesn't happen without intentional human action.
but hey, when that same corporate structure builds a browser it should be trusted implicitly... riiiiiiiight.
The wifi capturing was explained and anyone with an unencrypted wireless network should have no expectation of privacy anyway.
the wifi capturing, recording and archiving spontaneously occured without intentional human action? the programs for this wrote themselves?
and it is somehow okay for a corporation to systematically spy on people who are not computer literate?
WOW

One rule for the masses, another rule for those with lots of money.
Is Chrome the SAME as Chromium. Where do you get CHROMIUM?

Normally my default response to this question would be Firefox. However, I just downloaded the latest version to install on a new machine and I was more than a little shocked how careful I had to be with the installation to avoid the insane amount of crapware the Mozilla wishes to push along with the installation. It has been some time since I installed Firefox on a bare system so maybe they have been doing this for awile but I do not like the direction they seem to be moving in.
I just installed it to my Win8 vm a few weeks ago, and I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Did you get it from Mozilla's site?
Last week when I downloaded I got some type of "Firefox Downloader" rather than a setup file. Somehow this gives me an uneasy feeling ....
Yea, I don't like the sound of that. If possible, you should try to track down the exact url you got the weird installer from. It may still be in your history from whatever browser you used.
I will check the url when I get home. It must have been a clever spoof because it was the first Google search hit and looked exactly like the Mozilla site. It also installed the proper version of FF. Weird.
good call. Duckduckgo is awesome, I really like how they sort official sites and wiki links for you.
Pale Moon, that is essentially Firefox on steroids, much faster, takes advantage of Multi Core CPUs, and is compatible with all Firefox Add-Ons. It also doesn't have the new stupid Firefox interface, clean retro Firefox interface.
They also have an excellent forum where you get solutions to any problems you may face very quickly from the developer himself (Moon Child)
