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.

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%).

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
