I keep telling myself to switch from Chrome but the other browsers suck.

Wrong.


I have firefox. Too slow, too much crap up top (toolbars I never use), the URL bars are too cluttered, etc.

You can disable those.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

They don't need reasoning, they can just accuse you of something false


Well if you have done things that make you a suspect to commit a crime, at worst, they look at your info and find you have done nothing wrong and leave you alone.

They need a reason, if they don't, evidence/etc can be thrown out of court.

Of course a free service is going to do that. They can't do anything real with my Google search history and/or use of Google products.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Cool, but I think most of that can be avoided if you don't have a g-mail, use Google only for searching, and use a browser other than Chrome.

You're laughing?

*rages*

YOU'RE LAUGHING OUT LOUD?? YOU THINK I'M FUNNY?!? IT'S TRUE! YOUR'E OLD! INTERNET EXPLORER IS GARBAGE MAN! THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THAT BROWSER IS BETTER! IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A SPELL CHECK!

I swear man you're a troll. YOU JUST ARE! IF YOU SERIOUSLY THINK THAT CHROME IS GARBAGE, THEN EXPLAIN TO ME IN A LONG PM WHY INTERNET EXPLORER IS BETTER THAN CHROME AND WHY I SHOULD SHOULD SWITCH TO IT!!!

Maybe then I'll stop raging. -_-

But until then, I'm using Chrome. I've had no problem with it and I personally think it's the best browser available aside from Firefox and opera, and if you "lol" at 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.

Why do people care if their browsing history is recorded by some one else? What are you doing on the internet you want it a secret?


So would you think it would be okay if a government car followed you everywhere you drive or planted cameras/bugs in your house?

You have a right to privacy which encompasses the right to be free from surveillance.

But all google does is sell info to advertising companies, usually this is done anonymously. If it is really an issue, don't make an account when using google or chrome.
If they did not judge me and simply used it to make my personal government experience better, then I wouldn't mind.

"We have the right to privacy! We have the right to keep our lives secret! Blah blah blah."

You sure do. Nobody is forcing you to use Google services. Google isn't a government seeking agency secretly tracking you. You agree to send them certain bits of information when you use their services. How can you complain when you've agreed? Get over it -blam!-s.

Thanks Mr. Wonka, but you left out a few lines.
