CHARGE YOUR PHONE @Wolfmother !!!

Chrome claims to be secure, but it's anything but. Had been littered with bugs, exploits and patches.

The certificate issue is one example. Rather than deal with expiring certificates like all other browsers, they block them because it's in the "too hard basket" to resolve it another way.

Plus I don't trust google with full access to my search data from browser. Everything is too intrinsically linked, and if you check out your privacy / my activity page on Google (part of terms and conditions and on by default), it gets a little scary.
They all have bugs and they all track your data, how do you think they make money?

IE and Firefox don't.

Firefox - non for profit organization with no vested interest in data mining.

IE/Edge - MS aren't interested in data mining as they make money elsewhere.

Google - make money data mining, and selling your data (anonymous or otherwise). The My Activity thing is frightening for Android users until you force disable all items of it.

If you left location, cookies, history, etc etc all on, you'd build a complete profile of where you were, what you were doing/looking at, over a long term. It'll also force through google ads on sits using them that are location and history specific.

If you've looked at or google up ice cream in the past, and are surfing web for "Ice cream" near an ice cream store, it'll display them back as google ads.

MS still collect data. Google doesn’t sell the data, they keep it and sell targeted ads. And if you use google as a search engine it doesn’t matter what browser you use. And also Facebook is probably the worst as it collects private conversation data which is used for advertisements as well. I use Adblock on mobile and PC so meh.

You did win a $100 Coles voucher... you just need to pay postage and handling, which is payable by $100 iTunes India gift card.

That's a rogue google Ad... I've since reported it.

Nah, it was a $1000 gift voucher and I needed to answer some simple questions like:

1) How often do you visit Coles?

2) What's your credit card number?

3) On average, how much money do you spend shopping each week?

4) If you were an animal, what would be the expiry date of your credit card and what 3 numbers would be written on the back of the card?
