   Hi thenameipicke Chrome is the fast so far? as for spyware you right but a new one comes,
   http://blogs.computerworld.com/chrome_googles_biggest_threat_to_your_privacy

   Lost in all the hooplah about Chrome's release is a very disturbing fact: The new browser could be Google's greatest privacy invader yet. In fact, Chrome can send back the keystrokes you type into its Address Bar, even if you don't
   bother to hit Enter. I've got details, along with a fix.

   Faster, But Should You Care?
   The ironic thing about browser makers’ speed claims is that many users probably won’t notice the difference between the fastest and slowest browsers in our tests.
   If that browser happens to be IE, however, be aware that you're surfing 42 times slower than you could be with one of the other alternatives.

   I will say, on browsing speed, it is generally the same (I only notice on my slowest computer.) However, on startup time, Chrome has always won. (Whenever I click on both of the icons at the same time). And on the spyware such and such....what are the planning on doing with my keylogs? All I see them doing is improving their searches, which I am all up for.

   Two other things that make a difference to me...so I won't get Iron.
   -No auto-updating with Iron.
   -Chrome won't learn what I like as well (even if it does require key-logging...its only logging the omnibar, not my CC info and such)

   Hi Sukibabe, not seen you around for a while. I noticed you're top of the ladder at Big Fish Games. :)

   I've been very pleased with FireFox and probably won't try Chrome until they get some bugs worked out.
