With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

I switched back when I was in college - which is strange because it came out one year after I left. I also remember having to take a class on how to use Google in my first year of college - which gives you a hint how long ago it was.

2 years later, the "Manifest" is doing it's job and still I know some people that would not leave their favorite Chrome.

Opera cons notwithstanding, Opera One is really nice as a browser.

Firefox itself has some UI quirks that can cause a bit of friction.

Chrome always feels like it just works, but I rely on Google's ecosystem frequently.

Opera is Chinese spyware. Look up Vivaldi, it's Opera on steroids but with none of the privacy risks...it was also made by the original creator of Opera.

Great Idea! I keep forgetting to. I don't really mind being spied on by the Chinese since they already have their finger in many other pies I like to eat...and upon writing this I realized how foolish I am!
