The reason I still stick to Chrome.
-
Recent speculations (as in "study" finds) that Google still tracks users browsing incognito.
I don't think this is the case, because the vast of antiviral software manufactures as an absolutely safe browser. Specifically, Avast! developed their Avast Secure Browser entirely based on Google Chrome latest release. :)

About insanity, this week I had to prepare a new builder with Windows Server 2019 and only standard IE 11 installed. Not wanting to install "unnecessary software" it took me about an hour to get the security settings right to download any software like VS2017. For every click a popup showed up that I had to "add to the secure sites filter". Do you think you can configure this in IE security settings ? Wrong, you have to go to the Windows Server manager panel ! :mad:
One annoying behavior of IE 11 is the login box of windows authentication. When the box pops out, user cannot close the browser unless credentials are entered (or fail the authentication to display error). At work, most users have three or four tabs set to open when IE 11 starts. If a user wants to close the browser, he has to enter credentials for all tabs.

Chrome, unlike Firefox, Opera and Edge, never ever loads a full tab advertising more "stuff" they want you to download and use when all you want to do is load up a page. Insanity.

Come on, how can some of you still use IE . . . the worst browser ever made. That thing doesn't even understand Esc means 'stop loading the page' X| That reminds me of Yosemite Sam: "when I say woh mule, I mean woooooooooooooooooh mule. I run Windows 10 and I like the new Edge: a better Chrome than Chrome with all the unwanted removed. I just can't trust Google anymore

And *YES*, Google Chrome is probably one of the fastest web-browsers, providing more efficient credentials security and user privacy. The vast of antivirus software manufacturers such as Avast! recommend this particular web-browser, empowered with various of security and user safety add-in's such pop-up and adware blockers. Privacy browsing mode is one of the Chrome's features that I admire. :), and I hope you admire it as well. :)
I don't, unfortunately, believe for a moment that my browsing habits are a secret to anyone.

What is worse, Google's browser calling Google or MicroSoft's browser calling FaceBook?

I only use Chrome for testing and still prefer IE for everything else. I really don't trust Google anymore. :suss: I also tend to run IE with debugging turned on. It amazes me how difficult if not impossible it is to browse some websites with all of the javascript errors popping up. I suppose it's easier to fail than to try. If a site is that buggy, I shouldn't be on it anyway. :)

I have been using the merge of Edge and Chrome lately. I use an AddBlocker and it loads virtually anything except some of the news sites that insist on showing their ads.

I am with you. I like the way Edge handles Favorites too.
Anyone expecting privacy of any type in today's world is delusional at best.
