Anyone that thinks Chrome is a botnet (particularly because of a quaint and inaccurate little picture) is a fool.
So Achronos, Who referred to Chrome as "Spyware", is a fool now?


Spyware =/= botnet, but yes.
Well, I'm sure you know more then one of the people that maintain this site about computers.


I certainly don't, but it's foolish to call Chrome a botnet. It's that simple. If you call it a botnet, you're a fool. You're wrong. Incorrect. Misinformed. Inaccurate.

Care to elaborate why it is not, or will you just keep saying people are fools for saying it is without tell them why?

I find that Teh-Ziod is NOT attractive for the reasons
she/he does not correct format sentences, therefore for intelligent matured members of society that may interact with her/him, may find her/him UNattractive for the reason that she/he does not comprehend with their level to successfully have a conversation therefore it will be socially an awkward interaction which may be wanted to be avoided

second i do not find it physically possible for a PERSON to be a ice cream truck.

When did Achronos say it was a botnet?
He didn't, however, he has referred to Chrome as spyware, garbage, and weaksauce.

Just look up the damn definition. Chrome is not surreptitiously controlling your computer as part of a network of slaved computers to perform actions like DDoS attacks, creating spam, spreading viruses, or commit cyber crimes. Google is not malicious, and the user agrees to the terms of use and willingly enables any sort of information collection that is done.

It is also not spyware because the user agrees to any collection of information and Google's tactics aren't exactly hidden. In fact, the results are plain to see in the ads that are generated and the efficiency of the program.

Achronos was incorrect in calling it spyware. Is it trash? That's an opinion, but I'd say given the fact that every other browser has tried to copy it aesthetically and functionally, it's probably not.

I don't see the issue. It tracks what you do that really isn't a problem since in the end it is to help improve your experience. As for ads I block pretty much all of them so it is irrelevant. If anything I care more about speed and the lack of clutter it provides. Also I really don't care about what Achronos thinks of Chrome since it is obvious he just doesn't like it tracking what he does.

Use the Chromium browser. It is Chrome but it strips all of Google and it's trackers.

I cream myself just thinking about his posts.

I just can't explain it. I don't think the feeling is mutual, though.

To respond seriously, we've had past conversations, I was just wanting him to respond to a PM I sent like, a week ago.

Honestly, I have no problem with Chromium, I just prefer Firefox's UI and customization add ons. I would suggest this for those that want to use Chrome and not be tracked by Google though.
