I lol'd last night - saw an advert / commercial on TV for Internet Explorer 9 lmao! I can smell the desperation.

 

Chrome is a pile of junk though. Well no, it isn't, it's a lovely browser.. But the big G logging every single web address you enter? No thanks. I wont touch it. If they gave you the option, then I wouldn't care about it, I've nothing to hide, and I guess it serves some tracking purposes.. But the fact you have no say on the matter, is sly and dishonest.. Thus, I wont use it.

 

Firefox is way more expandable anyway. So many tools installed on mine that help me day to day. Not to mention IE and Chrome don't have an awesome F|A addon!
