Story: Why a Firefox fan became a Chrome convert

Adoption of Chrome

While not being a fan of the Chrome's combination location bar and search box, the thing that really bugs me is that when I open a link in a new tab, the new tab does not automatically come to the fore but requires to be selected.

Actually Firefox does the same and that bugs me too, maybe the about.config offers a cure but I don't know how.

Another beef is that the 'Clear browsing data' function always defaults to ''Last day' and does not remember the previously selected option, e.g. 'Everything'

I'm not that enthusiastic about sending my web navigation and search data to Google either.

Nevertheless, I am also considering Chome as my default browser but meantime I'm using a version stripped of the intrusive activities called SRWare Iron in order to maintain a semblance of privacy, bearing in mind my strong distaste for the Phorm technology.
