It's since been changed! The cheeky fuckers!
Put me right off downloading with wording as it was.

Yep, they scan your emails for keywords and then fire adverts at you. Clever huh... I wonder what else they do when scanning your email.

I've tried chrome, it's "nice" but i don't know whether I could migrate from firefox fully.
I must admit the usability of their products is amazing, gmail, sketchup are very good tools and quite sophisticated too.
However I too am a little concerned with how big they are getting and all the data they are storing about each of us. It's worrying but someone would be storing the data no matter where i was, so I just take my chances

Fire Fox is a great choice. I use Avant and it's a classy browser but I think IceWeasel is worth a look

Yep, I use Mozilla Firefox too. No spam or other irritating things, just pure internet without "the things"
Try to use all the "Apple things and stuff" , but in the heart of my laptop its still a Windows.. but then with less trouble
[Off topic in the Off topic] Who uses Windows Vista? And do you like it or not? With all the (we call it in Dutch kinder-ziektes, child-sickness?) problems from the beginning?

The problem is now, I work in IT so I get everyone asking me how to do this and that, then they have a stunned look on their face because I tell them I don't have a clue because its shitty Vista. Give me an XP or Linux (Ubunto) box and I'm good but Vista?? Ahh I hate it! Its the worst thing since, well, ever!!

Chrome is fast. My browsing involves a lot of forward and backward going, and it loads so much faster then IE and FF.
So for now I use it side by side with FF.
A pro and disadvantage at the same time is that out of the box it will deal with most multimedia applications on the internet.
When Chrome will have plugins like FF has, eg flashblack, adblock, RIP, etc. then it may be near perfect.
Vista. Uhm yeah, some people buy it or get it with their new computer.
Deep underneath that Linux like dressed up Vista shell it's still much old school 2000/XP. I would still be using 2000 if it wasn't for the RDP functionality of XP. And that it boots faster.
That Vista Aero interface looks great though.

Vista is a very dodgy program... I got these quotes from Richard Stallman, who set up the "Free Software Foundation" and is the guy who probably deserves most credit for the popularity of all these Linux based operating systems you get today.
"What Microsoft do is have a signature and encryption key that corresponds to a second key stored in your computer. This enables Microsoft, and potentially any web sites that cooperate with Microsoft, the ultimate control over what the user can do on his own computer.
Vista also gives Microsoft additional powers; for instance, Microsoft can forcibly install upgrades, and it can order all machines running Vista to refuse to run a certain device driver. The main purpose of Vista's many restrictions is to make Digital Rights Management that users can't overcome."
I would say to anyone, avoid it like the plague. Get Ubuntu instead.
