      I'm sick of getting chrome "recommended" to me by sites Even the bank, for crying out loud! Even my bank site puts up a banner (about the same size as the #$%&*@^ ribbon), demanding that I "upgrade" from one of the most advanced browsers in the world to the cr@ppy spyware called chrome. Who's paying them for this? Google won't be. Or is it just an ignorant prig of a banking-world web developer? "I use chrome, therefore it's the best, therefore everyone should use it!" It's like the free advertising that adobe gets everywhere (even on the UK government site). No I don't "need" adobe acrobat to read your files! There are dozens of pdf readers better than acrobat (all of 'em, IMO), and there are dozens of browsers better than chrome (just about all of 'em, IMO), so why are so many idiots so caught up in giving them free advertising?

      I've used Chrome for a good few years now and have yet to find a better browser. How about letting us into the secret of which one you think is so superior?

        Bloody good marketing by someone, probably the same guy who got Intel Inside stickers on a huge range of boxes.

          Pfft! IE6 was cr@p! The best IE by far was IE4. Far superior to Edge, Chrome, and that Chinese Nutscrape knock-off Red Panda. What I find amusing is that Nutscrape and Red Panda were the noisy boys who caused all the trouble and made all the fuss that resulted in the "browser wars", but Nutscrape died, and Red Panda is going the same way. The come along, cause trouble, then bugger off to cause trouble elsewhere? They're the trolls of the browser world.

            "Better" depends on your needs. If you want cutting edge, go for Opera (why wait for chrome to copy their ideas?) If you want fast, go for OB1. If you want to interact between your different machines, go for Maxthon. If you only want to tweet and use FB, get off the ****ing Internet. Etc.

                  Ah, but I don't, any more. Not for several months -- specifically because I got fed up of all the paid results and the nagging. ("Hey, you have to check out revision 2016.7255964628455 of our terms and conditions before continuing, then give us your phone number, credit card details, and mother's maiden name, so you can log in to google search safely and search the Internet! You must do this today!") It's actual web-sites doing it. It's like the Nutscrape days, all over again ("You need Nutscrape 3.5 to view his site properly") If a "normal" site pulls cr@p like that, I'll just piss of and view a different site (QED I don't use google search), but changing banks is a PITA.

                      Hey, I don't tell people what tools I use, where there's security involved. It's like when people here ask what antivirus people use. That always looks to me like market research by hackers.

                        What does this have to do with security? You stated that you were being hassled to switch to Chrome from a browser that you described as "one of the most advanced browsers in the world". So why do you refuse to tell us which one it is?
