The post you are reporting:
I only use IE, having experimented with all those listed by PaulB. However, I must confess to being a fan of Microsoft, a company that over the last 30 years has cynically brought me software that I want to use at a price I want to pay.
As for Google, well, be warned, they centrally record everything you do with their products to enable marketeers to data mine you information in order to present you with "appropropriate" advertising. Their cookie with the unique ID in it, which expires in 2038, has been tracking all of the search terms you've ever used while searching their main index.
They also share this information with government bodies and thish has lead to at least one high profiile case in the U.S. where mixing up the search criteria lead the FBI to think a Senator was interested in sex and bombs, and of course they arrested him. You can imagine the damage done to his family and career.
The founders of Google, Sergey Brin and Larry Page went to Stanford Univeristy and specialised in computers, data mining and social ethics. Not too sure why the third subject was of interest, you can draw your own conclusion.
For those of you who are anti-Microsoft/Bill Gates, think twice about the real motives behind Google; they are much closer to 1984 than anything we've seen so far.
So, no, I try to use Google little or not at all.
