Yeah...if you really are visiting porn sites more than anything else, than you have issues. And you can just turn that feature off too.

Opera has a similar bookmark page option?

You can use that setting where it records no information (no cookies etc) for your porn browsing.

Why go to web sites for porn? Just download video from your favorite p2p...

Some sites are just as good, if not better. Less chance of a stray virus too, even if you scan everything from p2p.

Irregardless, do you really think it is a good idea to use a browser from a corporation which relies primarily upon advertising revenues? Can ads (adsense, syndication, et alli) be blocked in Chrome? Do no evil my arse.

The only reason to block ads is to rebel against the man for the most part.

I actually prefer FF2.0 and then IE7. I don't care for FF3.0, IE8 or Chrome at all.

I have absolutely no problem with advertising companies knowing a lot about me. You're going to see advertising every day, that's a fact of modern life. Would you rather see advertisements for completely irrelevant crap you'll never consider purchasing, or advertisements for things you may actually find useful? Personally I pick the latter, no question.

Me to. Problem is how much information are you comfortable with them having? Not everyone is comfortable with companies having the same amount of info. For some having them know about you buying habits is convenient others might find it intrusive. If you bought sex toys online for example you might not want companies to know about that. What about your medical history? Your actual medical records are protected but your browsing habits about medical conditions you might suffer from may not be.

So since you searched for both I take it you failed to read the instructions on one and now need the others advice? :Q
