Comments on: Shiny Future for Chrome? http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2009/09/shiny-future-for-chrome.html Internet Marketing News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:05:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ellie http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2009/09/shiny-future-for-chrome.html/comment-page-1#comment-87337 Ellie Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:18:24 +0000 http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/?p=12979#comment-87337 I only use Firefox when I'm doing work for an online course, which isn't supported by the Chrome browser. I never use IE, my dad uninstalled it from my computer as soon as he got Firefox years ago. I got Chrome almost immediately after it was released, and I love how simple, clean, and fast it is. I'm the kind of person who uses about seven tabs at once and is using social networking sites constantly, but I'm not a hyper techie or anything. Only a few of my friends use it as well, and it's not on any of the school computers yet, but I can certainly picture it becoming more popular.

From my perspective, "track[ing] the living crap out of [you]" is not only completely erroneous but totally uninteresting to us. The goal of the project is to make everything on the web much faster. We've posted publicly several times about what features might send any data remotely, and if you're concerned, how to turn them all off; but their purpose is to do benign things like suggest search queries that you might be trying to type. There's no repository of the web sites you visit, or anything like that. One reason we publish our source code is so that others can verify this independently. @Tom H.: I am a Chromium developer, and I’m curious what data you think the browser collects on you.

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 13:42:51 +0000 http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/?p=12979#comment-83721 Firefox fan here, largely due to the functionality available to me through the add-ons. Though I totally resent how slow it is to load, and constantly being interrupted to install updates to add-ons or the browser itself. I'm hesitant to use Chrome as my main browser for the same reason I don' t install the Google toolbar, or any other toolbar - I don't like further enabling companies to track the living crap out of me like that. I like Google and all, but at some point I need to draw the line on how much of my life is any of their business.

I tend to keep Chrome open on one screen, Firefox on another, and I usually have an instance of IE running for testing purposes. All in all, Chrome is great. It's smoking fast! I still enjoy some of the Firefox add-ons, but I think the future for Chrome is very bright. .-= Mickey´s last blog ..<a href="http://twitter.com/mickmel/statuses/4036823171" rel="nofollow">mickmel: @jillwhalen No luck here either (Atlanta, GA -- Comcast).</a> =-.

IE is... awful, in my opinion. It freezes, it quits, it doesn't display things right, lacks support, and... it freezes! An awful lot on my PC. Firefox is quick and has the blessed Web Developer add-on that I love - it rarely crashes for either my PC or Mac, which is brilliant and it displays things properly. Chrome, I'm on the fence about. I tried one of its earlier releases and it wouldn't work for more than half hour or so without crashing, so I was disappointed and uninstalled it. However, it seems to have moved on now so maybe I'll give it a go soon! (If i can let go of my Firefox) .-= Luci´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/crearesearchengineoptimisationblog/~3/bekx4kDclYY/use-titles-to-drive-traffic-to-your-blog.html" rel="nofollow">Use Titles To Drive Traffic To Your Blog And Increase Your SEO</a> =-.
