Which is what 'the good guys' do with information. I don't have the criminal intent to imagine all what the 'bad guys' can do with information. And don't think that information that one party collect will stay at and is used only by this party. Information can be sold or may leak in any other way.

That sound like people saying 'I don't have anything to hide...' which is a pretty arrogant point of view in this context in my opinion. What about your Doctor, your Lawyer, reporters and their Informer and many other secret carrier. It's not all about you!

Yeah, read this!

Don't use Google Chrome, they don't respect your privacy: http://www.theregist...idt_on_privacy/

Sorry to jump on the chrome train again

I don't know, I think it's justified to worry about what Google is collecting.

If privacy is the only reason you don't want to try it, then just use Chromium instead of Chrome (in fact on Pandora Chrome would not be available unless Google specifically ports it). Or if you are really paranoid, Iron is a Chromium fork that removes even more stuff. (and is of course a bit out of date at any given time)

Sorry for continuing the off-topic discussion, but hopefully this will help put it to rest.

Nope. I just prefer Midori. It is as fast as Chromium (because it's also based on gtk-webkit) and has all the features I need.

Does Midori have Chrome's V8 javascript VM, though? Because that's what makes it run javascript faster than others.

Yes. Yes, it does.

And Chromium does NOT use gtk-webkit (@Vitel), it uses separate WebKit and GTK components (just in case you really meant the gtk-webkit module).

BTW, here are the collective benchmarks by me and some others of various web browsers:
