Now I feel like a dickhead

well i was doing daily searches around wikipedia facebook and stuff,sometimes i would go on random sites when i would search for knowlege,and eatch time there would be a virus,now that i am using firefox i dont have these sort of problems,mabe one or two in a year appear to bug.

Again, what version were you using. IE9 is substantially safer than previous versions.

That may be down to all those smutty websites you've been visiting. Dirty.

Chrome is for Aspies!

though actually I heard aspies are getting rolled into autism from next year.

Wings of Fire 12-11-2011 10:22 AM

But aspergers is in the autism spectrum already...

okay I admit it was dumb to rage about google chrome and I am sorry I called you stupid.

I just don't feel comfortable with Google. it's a huge corp. and practically everywhere. Firefox is funded by Google with 60 million dollars per year.
(http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/do...ncial-faq.html)
the fund ends this year. let's see what happens after that. Google Chrome passed Firefox in November for the first time with a market share of 25.69% (FF - 25.23%).

this is an interview with Google' chief executive Eric Schmidt
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/c3e49548-0...#axzz1gH2VY2NL

and from the Wall Street Journal

Google doesn't just want to be a search engine, it wants to organize my life? everyone knows Google's tracking, not many do care. it's the same with Facebook. I think we still lack the awareness that when I use the Internet, I also alter and shape the internet, we all do it together. and because we are all connected and use the same pool we are affecting each other. the internet does have its own language, even its own humour.
don't get me wrong, I don't think that's a bad thing, in contrary I think it's great, but I think something like google which already gives you suggestions with Autocomplete, which is a monopoly and you're kinda dependent on it and which openly admits that it wants to suggest what I want...

that's it, I try to avoid google by using ixquick p.e. but I still can't really avoid it, if I want to get good results. that's quite anxious. I also use blogspot

a bit of a comic relief

Chrome has been like a roller coaster for me. Some days it's rocket speed and other days i could brew a pot of coffee, take a shit, do some laundry, take a shower, and it will still be trying to load up the web page.

You do realize that the speed of a website relies on more than just a browser? It's unfair to blame a browser if you're trying to connect to an overloaded server or something.

It also depends on how many people are using your provider at different hours. For example, everything will be faster at 5am (before people are awake) as opposed to 7:30pm (prime time).

AWHEEEEEEEE

JennyGenesis 12-12-2011 01:16 PM

That still makes me laugh just as much as it did the first time,

Anybody ever see the making of video for that? That was hilarious to.

Anyway, I use 2 internet browsers and this is how I use them:

Firefox: Facebook, Photobox

Safari: Everything else.

i have two testicles and this is how i use them:

Left Bollock: Scratching, Gathering fluff

Right Bollock: Hanging at a slightly higher position than the aforementioned bollock.

Wil 12-13-2011 02:01 AM
