Ditch Chrome

Chrome is a data sucking MONSTER

from WinCustomize Forums

I worked for almost a year in Digital Marketing for a major newspaper until last December when I got fired. I suppose I got fired because working in digital marketing was a nightmare and I guess it showed on my face and in my actions, comments etc.

Everything was Google. I had to learn how to create content for the web site through Google. I learned how Google/Chrome tracks every little damn thing you do online. I could go on about this but I don't want to relive the digital marketing nightmare or open myself up for trouble with my old work place.

Recently I've seen articles about Chrome spying on you when you go online. I knew they did but used Chrome anyway. So I have decided, even though it isn't skinned to go with Firefox.

We'll see how it goes. I'm using Firefox to post this.

On my cell I use Edge. Sometimes I will use Safari. It’s an iPhone.

I hate to say it but I'm back to using Chrome, at least for now. I went to renew my WC subscription while using Edge and it wouldn't go through! It just sat there. So I tried Chrome and no problem. I also noticed Chrome loads pages faster than Edge so screw it. Google got me! I'm caving.

Chuck, you might try Edge developer edition, it's Chromium based, I've been using it for a while, and it's sooo much better than the regular Edge, in my humble opinion. :grin:

You do have IE, not saying you have to use it but it does come in handy if you need to access something in a pinch.
