I want to know which is the best Chrome based browser among these and the reason for choosing it. Go!

I think Opera switched to the Blink (WebKit) engine due to better site compatibilities, than compared to Presto engine.

For privacy, what do you about GoogleClean 5 ? With the above Chromium clones, for example, Opera Next?

Or it just a waste of time? And which one are using? ;)

It is just a waste of time since there are many free extensions that will do the same thing like Adblock, Do Not Track Me and Ghostery.
SpywareBlaster will also secure privacy on Chrome and is totally free.

I've never tried 'SuperBird' seems interesting... is it any good?

There is not much known about Superbird except for it is always kept updated. Some users believe it is developed by the same developer as SRWare Iron since it appears to be identical, even the comparison page. I don't see any difference between the two. It is possible that it is developed by the same developer.

Enjoy!! :D

Does superbird have some sort of ad-ware attached to it? It's not digital signed and both Comodo and WSA want to block it's install. I'm sure it's just a FP but wanted to check with anyone that's used it. Even the website is blocked by WSA webfilter.

Download from Softpedia- http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Browsers/Superbird.shtml

"Softpedia guarantees that Superbird 33.0.1750.12 is 100% FREE, which means it does not contain any form of malware, including spyware, viruses, trojans and backdoors."

Download portable from Softpedia- http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/Internet/Browsers/Superbird-Portable.shtml

Enjoy!! :D

Most computers have at least 100GB of space, 300-500Mbs won't really affect anything. If you're looking for a light browser, have a look at mozilla firefox..I tried many chrome alternatives but they weren't as good.
If you don't trust a certain company you simply ditch all of their products and not look for an alternative that IS based on it.

From years of successful use Opera. What is true of version 12.16 over a certain age, but new releases are getting better, but require a change of behavior. I've never had any major problems with this browser.:cool:

Yandex - has the built-in Flash player, PDF reader, AdGuard, WOT, Opera Turbo, LastPass, FlashBlock, Evernote, TurnOffTheLights, Lightshot - all built-in, you choose if you wish to run them or not. If you live in the States, who would be more interested in spying on you - the NSA or the FBS?

That is why,I do not have Google install on my PC's. I do not TRUST GOOGLE in anyway, shape and/or form.

At least try the Browser below and give some feed back on it in your opinion? You may just like it. With
Mozilla Firefox.

If you don't trust Google then don't use any Chromium-based browser because Google provides updates to all of them.
None of them would even exists without Google. I would like to see the day when one of these Chromium clones would start updating and developing their own core instead of depending on Google to do all the work.

Installing a Chromium clone is the same thing as installing Google Chrome since you still have to trust Google to keep the core updated, patch vulnerabilities, add new features, etc.

Whitehat Aviator- is using about 5 months old Chromium core which is open to several vulnerabilities including privacy related, exploit hacks and several other security related.

Enjoy!! :D
