The thing is Chrome *IS* convincingly fast and I don't want to strip my Firefox off all those precious extensions to make it similarly fast. Hence, I like to use Chrome every now and then. :) Haha, that’s a good one, too.

In the meantime, it is a worthwhile pursuit to try to address some of those privacy concerns on our own - while this article attempts to do just that, and I think I agree with points 2 and 3, I must say that point #1 is a bit ridiculous. It seems to me that changing the default search engine to something <i>other</i> than Google is rather backwards while using <b>Google</b> Chrome!
