Littlebits,

Thank you! :)For the information and details!;) And how do you about Maxthon Brower?:rolleyes:
And Yandex?

Maxthon is not a Chromium clone, they actually develop their own core which is based on Apple Webkit (Safari/537.36 for Windows) and develop their own extensions. They also patch their own vulnerabilities on don't rely on Google.

Yandex just had an update recently before it was running about 6 months behind on latest Chromium core.
Now Yandex is using Chromium 33.0.1750.154 which was released March 14, 2014. The latest Chromium is 34.0.1847.116 released April 8, 2014, so it looks like it is now running one version behind. The main problem is will it wait another 6 months to release another update?

The latest Chromium patched 31 security fixes.

Really you got fooled because Comodo Dragon is still using out-dated Chromium core open to several vulnerabilities.
The development is too slow to patch vulnerabilities, Comodo Dragon relies on Google to patch the vulnerabilities Comodo does not develop the core, they only add features by the extension platform like all other Chromium clones, so it is not safer than Google Chrome.

Enjoy!! :D

I tested the Torch browser awhile back for a week or two, and I was extremely disappointed.
At first, it was okay. After trying out the built-in extensions in Torch and browsing for about a few hours, it slowed down quickly.
It was crashing, restarting itself and so on. It was so unbearable I had to stop using it and switch back to Chrome, quickly.

But, that was awhile back. It could have improved since then.

For all of you that keep saying what about Firefox "trying to avoid Google Products" take a scroll down through "about:config", you may be surprised just how many entries of "google" you may find in your non-google browser ;)

Personally i use Chrome, for all the reasons listed in this thread.

I also, like Opera Next! But it is a clone of Google. So, it has Google Spyware! Correct me if I am wrong,please!

And,to stay away from Google base spyware and all clones. Unless the Yandex Browser has completely remove Google Spyware out of their Yandex Browser?
Maxthon Browser seem to be the winner! In my opinion only.

Opera is one of the oldest browsers on the planet, they are also one of the pioneer browsers keep in mind most features used in IE, Chrome, and FF come directly from innovations made by Opera.
Yes Opera next is based on Chromium Core BUT has NOTHING to do with Google.
And when it comes to Privacy then i take Opera over ANY browser out there.
besides that its a really good browser and most older computer users rate it as prpbably the best and fastest browser out there (Disregarding staged benchmark tests) But you do need to know how to use it and config it. Granted they do not have the budget like google or IE or FF for that matter, however they are still holding their own...
