What is it that you don't understand that I want my privacy and I'm entitled to it?
Would you like it if someone without consent followed you with a camera when you leave the house and logs everything you say/do till you go back home?
Poll: I still use internet explorer

Between 1999 and 2002, I used Netscape, AOL and IE for about 1 year each.
Jun 2002 - jumped ship to Mozilla. This offered pop-up blocking and tabbed browsing.
Skipped Firefox 1, went straight to Firefox 2 in Dec 2006. IE7 came out around Dec 2006 too with pop-up blocking and tabs but I think it missed the boat.
Went to portable Firefox 2-3 years ago. No fapping around setting up extensions and preferences on every PC you install it on. Just copy the portable version via memory stick.
At work, we still use IE7 O.o
This is the logic I don't get: In Firefox and MS Excel, you can switch tabs by holding CTRL + pgup or pgdown but IE7 doesn't allow that.

Your ISP is storing logs of the sites you visit. If you really want to be paranoid then GHCQ is as well. Google is the least of your worries and they have to pay the bills somehow.

Not comparable.
You didn't answer why you think they are invading your privacy, where is your proof? What makes you think that?
Perhaps you've been blinded by your paranoia but logging options and everything can be turned off and other things opted in or out.
It's all available via the Accounts Dashboard.

We used to have IE7 on the desktop. Went to Windows 7 and IE9 and broke a shed load of the legacy and not so legacy systems. It's amazing how many web based systems are so badly coded for earlier versions of IE it makes me get HULK MAD. HULK SMASH.
That's not exactly a good comparison is it? Google just remember your previous searches so it shows ads more to your liking.
Your ISP probably tracks you more than Google does...
How have you arrived at that conclusion, you're just spouting baseless nonsense and looking like an extremely paranoid person.
Better get off the internet, hide under your dining table and equip your tin foil hat.

That's all i use IE9 for too , as you said battelog works well.. It's better for me to run it as my Chrome browser has many extensions (processes running), which are not wanted while gaming.
I generally use Chrome for the speed and syncing of my bookmarks. Still use a bit of Firefox for checking up on certain websites which all load of up in tabs when i open the browser.
Speed of the browser seems the key to me from opening the browser to it displaying the website page as quick as possible, Maybe it shows up more with my older tech it will be interesting to see any differences between the browsers once i get an i7, decent RAM and an SSD upgrades.
I'm not sure why what we've said would make us "fanboys". You're just being way too paranoid...That's all i use IE9 for too , as you said battelog works well.. It's better for me to run it as my Chrome browser has many extensions (processes running), which are not wanted while gaming.

Just the SSD.
Once you go SSD you will sit back and laugh in the face of anyone not on an SSD purely from how awesome and amazing an SSD is at absolutely everything and anyone not on an SSD is just a chump
Browser speed becomes irrelevant then too irregardless of the rest of your computer spec (as long as it's not a Cyrix M3 or something
).Just the SSD.

I can verify this as fact
Once you go SSD... Hmm need something that rhymes with D... I'll be back

I'm sure you'll find its just people trying to show you how silly you are being.
As said, Your ISP logs more of your data than google. And google only point you in the direction of ads that benefit you.
The data ISPs keep is far more detailed. As we saw when some details were leaked not long ago.
