    Hmm, if it's the Googles of this world that give you the creeps you might want to try something like privoxy.

    Chrome. Fast and clean design.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Well whatever your choice it can hardly be worse than Chrome via VMWare View in VirtualBox (don't ask), or ehrm, anything over RDP, really (please don't ask).

    Since Firefox seems to be about as fast as any of the major browsers, I'm transferring back to Firefox (from SRWare Iron, a modified version of Chrome that supposedly had Google's tracking removed) with adblock/noscript/https everywhere, and as much of this security as is practical; https://www.schneier.com/blog/archiv..._remain_s.html

    Oh, and Youtube Center with DASH disabled. Or maybe enabled. Whichever setting lets youtube videos load the whole video so there's no buffering issues.

    I like the iternet explorer experience, the speed of IE, MF and GC are not very different for me, the only downside of IE is not pinning websites, like i can on MF and GC. GC lacks a lot of site compability though, and cant load many of my most used pages correctly, like outlook

    IE has no real ad-blocking Software either, so every website you go to, you are bombarded with CrazyFrog.
