Post by: desdawg on September 01, 2008, 11:10:05 PM
Google set to introduce its own Web browser

Better let them iron out the bugs before jumping on board?

Well - I'm about ready to try it.  I have to restart Firefox about every 20 minutes to keep it running.  I know it is likely because I want to run about 30 tabs -- IE crashes as soon as I open them up but---- that's not the point.   I want to do it my way and I want it to work. [crz]

After the trouble I had with IE I am ready for something new. If it will work with all of my antique hardware that is, probably won't.

I don't like most things that are brand new, untried, unproven models, especially software.

I wouldn't touch this browser with a ten foot pole.  Google does enough data mining without opening the door to your system for them.

I thought about that, Daddymem, but then I got to thinking I was just being paranoid. ::)

There is nothing they don't keep track of.
