Google Chrome or Firefox?

[john]

Steer clear of google chrome ... it's spyware. Firefox has gone to the dawgs (slow and buggy). If you like the speed and features of Chrome then try "SRWare Iron" browser which is chrome-based (the spyware has been removed). I repeat ... don't use the google chrome spyware browser.

For those doubters: Ask yourself ... Why would google bring out a browser if there was no commercial reason in it for them to do so? Google had something to gain (as they always do). I have verified this piece of spyware is transmitting packets back to the google servers (using wireshark) and it does this without your firewall ever seeing the packets (bypassing the firewall). It does this without you even accessing any webpage after you start the chrome browser (!!!!!). This is my opinion based on testing I have done recently. I also suspect they may be looking at your stored passwords but I need to run a file-access utility to verify this and as yet have not invested the time on this suspicion.
