Subject: Why would anyone ever use Google and its services?

In all seriousness Chrome does watch what people do, and sell it to advertisers, even if the put it in the terms, they know damn well most people do not read it. EA does the same thing. It does not make it right.

I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

Just Zoid being Zoid ^_^

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.

I'd recommend it. Honestly, I've gotten just as good search results from it, also you might want to check these out.

People seriously exaggerate that. You can install other Chromium browsers if you really want to rid yourself of Google. Either way, anybody with half a brain knows Google is about ads. You'd have to be a moron not to know. But you did agree to their terms. To -blam!- about the fact that YOU AGREED is -blam!- retarded.

You can disable pretty much all of those tracking features.

And if you like Chrome but not Google, try Comodo Dragon or SRWare Iron.

Duh, Google makes money online by their ad service. Were you born yesterday?
Doesn't bother me none, I use AdBlock and I accept the fact that they're selling my personal data (i.e.: the things I type and the things I click on when I'm online) whenever I'm online. That's just a simple fact of using the internet. What else am I gonna do? Use Bing? lol

I honestly don't care. They provide the best services, and I'm okay with that.

Achronos is old. He doesn't understand that Chrome is actually better. He believes that Internet Explorer is actually superior. He is completely wrong, Internet Explorer is heavily flawed. I bet he's only saying this stuff because of his job and he probably gets an extra amount of money in his paycheck if he advertises a Microsoft product. That or he's old.

Chrome actually allows me to do many things that I couldn't do with any other browser. I also have been using YouTube since 2010. While I'm not a big fan of Google, I can't complain. They're products aren't bad. I lost a lot of respect when Achronos said that Coup is garbage and he's going to do whatever he can to destroy it in the next update.

So I honestly don't care what he thinks. He's old.

I disagree, Firefox has proven both faster and more customizable then Chrome. I got this baby set up to be tank, literally everything needs my permission to get through. Posted by: SHOTTY SNIP3R

I disagree, DuckDuckGo has given me just as good results. The only thing that I know of no good alternative to is youtube, eh, I only use it to listen to music and got google blocked via NoScript.

While I disagree with Achronos on him saying IE being better then Firefox, he probably knows more about computers then both of us combined. Also, name one thing Chrome can do better then Firefox. Given my time with both browsers, i have been able to customize Firefox to my liking in looks, security, privacy, and speed. Also, he never said he was going to get rid of coup. He said the new site update will leave it incompatible, which makes sense seeing as how the script is not written for the new site.

I see. Well, if there is one thing that Chrome can do that I really like, it's that you can install an extension without having to restart the browser. Firefox is good too, but the last time I used Firefox, it was all buggy and I had problems. Ever since I switched to Chrome, I never switched back. I got use to it.

Also I bet Achronos (or Peter Griffin is what I like to call him) gets paid for just sitting around and eating donuts all day.

Yeah I know I'm being an ass right now because I don't like the guy. Seriously, why is every server engineer so damn fat? Even my java instructor who was a sever engineer was a fatass, and I dropped the class because he really didn't know how to teach. He just expected us to write code. It was Intro Java btw.

I use chrome because IE isn't customisable and Firefox crashes every time I use it.

I have the latest "stable" build with very few add-ons

And also who cares if they know my location and my websites I go to.. My life isn't that interesting to track they will just get the general location of my house and know what pr0nz I watch.. No big deal.

Isn't that common knowledge? Most of Google's revenue is from ads.

I will still use Gmail, Google Search and Android as they are excellent services.

Heavy weighs the crown, low hangs the head who wears it.

I use Duckduckgo as my search provider, Google for images (!gi), Android as my phone's OS, Firefox as my web browser, Lavabit and Hotmail for email.
