Again..... everyone seems so certain about exactly what google spyware sends home even though they really have no real idea what it consists of. People are simply making assumptions.
People seem to be defending chrome on blind faith born of a dislike for MS.

I work in Tier 2 Techinical support at Foxit Software (We provide PDF alternatives similiar to Adobe) Its 50/50 when it comes to search. 50% is the browser, 50% is the search engine. My 2 cents in web browsing:

Chrome - Everything is sandboxed, meaning it's secure. However, it does use more memory and yes everything you search is placed on Google servers (semi government). No biggie unless ur searching for weird illegal pornography or planning a plot of evil. I recommend Chrome for browsing and going on forums. Its language runs scripts very quickly and soon Chrome will be on every desktop. (really.)

Firefox - Good ol mozilla. I recommending downloading addons "Noscript" and "Ad Blocker" those two addons are life savers when it comes to pure web surfing. (Whatever you want) Firefox is under the non profit jumbo with MS holding its back. Lots of great addons and most webservices are compatible. Good alternative to IE.

IE - Hate it. Crippled and has bunch of holes. I mean it comes with MS and its the main browser that everyone uses but IMO, if you're using IE for everything, you dont really know jack bout computers or tech. lol.

Search Engines :

Google : Simple boom, if you have no gmail account theres really nothing to be tripping about. If you're using gmail and chrome and have an android device, Everything is tracked and is backed up in the Google servers. Great service IMO but they're adsense is getting annoying. lets say ur web browsing and window shopping, lookin at some neat car seats and decide to say naaahh dont want em, you will be seeing car seats ads left n right after clicking out of that page or relogging on. Its a new type of marketing approach every web service is touching.

Yahoo, Bing, Alta Vista, w.e - all the same thing.

I miss Scroogle though, it was a hybrid site hosted by major hackers/geeks that found a way to use Google's search without having it traced back to Googles search log.

Anywho, Just use Firefox with the plugsins Noscript and Ad Blocker Plus and you're good to go.
