I hate google these days., waiting to get an email account settup on rise up. Where they don't save and scan all your emails.

Google is sketchy, I want to delete my gmail, and stay the hell away from it. I already stopped using google search(which I always loved)

Give me 5 specific reasons why I should switch from Firefox. I don't see why it's better.

I decided it was time for me to get over my fear of change and went to download it. they told me on the download page multiple times that it would take merely seconds to download. i waiting for 2 minutes and the download did not even begin. they lied. fuck you google chrome, firefox will always be my browser of choice.

Listen dude, if I really wanted I could steal your identity anyways, all of the info is already on the internet so why worry about it? If your that worried maybe you should unplug your computer now, turn off your cell phone and go lock yourself in a dark room.

Identity theft? Lol, I care little about that. Thats blown up more as a scare tactic to get more control.

google, saves all of your email transactions indefinitely. To even make a gmail account these days  they ask for a cell phone number for confirmation. So they have your cell phone linked to your email.

As for cookies those are all saved. Google scans your mail, that's what they use to generate ads for you. If you type a bunch of certain keyword in a email you could get an alert sent out and be getting arrested quite fast. It's actually happened to people before.

Just ask Brandon Mayfield. As for your cell phone turning it off does nothing. You can triangulate a cell phone even with the power off unless the battery is removed. As for the internet it's already being patrolled a ton harder, with more regulation and watching to come.

Just keep joking about it dude. Have you actually ever read anything about the fusion centers? Check it out, if you have might think a little bit differently. A massive network for profile trying to gain any information on people they can. But as long as your not doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about right?

i can't stand not having mouse gestures for browsing and stumbleupon is also a must.

a lot of the features listed are also features of firefox 3.5

including incognito(called private browsing in firefox), drag tabs and drag out to make as a window. dragging an adress to the tab bar will open it as a new tab, AD BLOCK PLUS, and a shit load more. i admit, chrome is nice though.

ill use chrome on chromium os for sure though

Chrome is fast as hell for gmail.

The good (and bad) thing about Chrome is that it's fast. Basically, it's always 'buzzing' so it's using a bunch of RAM and it's ready to move the instant you want it to. FF and other browsers go dormant when your not actively using them, so there's a minute bit of lag for them to wake up and follow your commands. Sometimes I run itunes, Lightroom and Fruity loops and chrome on my laptop and it just can't handle it. This is when I use FF.

Also, does anyone know of an EXIF viewer plugin for Chrome? I need one.
