PC - Google Chrome! - View Post

I tried Chrome (because it's open-source). I was impressed by the speed and innovative UI and used it for a few days, but then I found out that it keylogs everything you type in the address bar and sends it to Google where they keep records on who browsed what. I know they do that with the search engine, but it does it even if you aren't using Google and are just typing in an address directly.

Also, they have yet to release a Linux build, so I can't use it day-to-day.

When Chromium (open-source core of Chrome) is at 1.0 and someone's made a build with that stripped out and for Linux, I'll use it.

I will get a mobile phone with Android (Google's Linux and Java based mobile OS). It looks like it will have all of the advantages of an iPhone, but cheaper, not tied to a single provider and of course open-source/free software.
