[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 846140"] Firefox is, and always has been a mess IMO. I could never get it to feel and work right. Also, somewhere in my post history here I believe I posted which sites a couple of browsers were accessing at startup and Firefox was pretty bad so I never looked back at it. Chromium is going to be the best bet for windows users IMO. An important point: The more data a browser (or anything for that matter) sends, the more sites it connects to, the more data and user privacy is lost. This is a simple fact. When crash reports are sent they are often full system dumps. So you are basically sending full system dumps for each crash/hiccup. So the astute privacy oriented individual will choose products/services that have FEWER connections/sessions made AND will disable logging, error reporting, and other such things. Limiting sessions (connections) and limiting logging/error reporting are foundations of good security and privacy. PS: Yandex? Don't go there. Trust me on that one. You'll eventually find out why.
