Also +1 against Chrome as default anywhere. I use Noscript extension for Firefox and Seamonkey and I mostly could not survive without them with the degree of use I have. (Javascript and flash abuse all over internet is very extensive) Also there is Chromium instead of that Chrome that is Google-controlled. I do not trust Chrome at all. There are many things that Chrome is doing that ordinary browser should not do, regarding user privacy, and is used and could be used to track user on internet: http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron_chrome_vs_iron.php http://maketecheasier.com/iron-browser-a-secure-alternative-to-google-chrome/2009/07/08 So there is a project that use chromium project and eliminates privacy issues that chrome has. It called Iron. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRWare_Iron http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron.php Also binary license of Google Chrome under which it is licensed, put user in direct conditioning to Google company etc.. Firefox is like a standard free browser for many years now. If someone wants to use Google-licensed Chrome binary he can always add it to he`s system the same way he can add Opera or Seamonkey. Lets not get Ubuntu derivates be turned into Google OS. There is a Google OS if someone loves Google so much and does not value its privacy. -- xubuntu-devel mailing list xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
