Im more than happy with Firefox, I don't need another browser, especially one that records what you do..that's well dodgy!

I don't understand how the spelling of the word "favorite" could be considered a spelling mistake; as per the inclusion of the word "(sic)" after it. Surely whoever quoted the article realises that there are differences between the US spelling and the UK spelling of some English words.

"[sic]—to indicate that an incorrect or *unusual* spelling" (from wikipedia, less the asterisks :))
This being a UK site then I assume this was added to make sure a load of pedants don't start complaining about tpyos (sic)

@Rsaeire - for clarity. Helps readers remember we aren't a US site (which happens a lot!)

Readers remember we aren't US site a lot? Why remind them, then?

I find this oversight mildly hilarious!

Genius!

@Gordon - I find it odd that people are confused and think the site is a US site. The pricing is nearly always in sterling (£) in the news and review sections and even the ads on the site. I guess there will always be some!
@Matt G Baish - I thought I'd just point the whole "(sic)" issue out as I was curious as to why it was used. I am also aware of why and when it is normally used, but as we now know that it was used due to users confusion, my initial post is now clear.

Anyone who uses the just released first beta of a new browser to do their banking is asking for trouble in the first place.

there is one good thing about Chrome...
it's nice and quick to uninstall
the coverage about market share is ridiculous - just because a lot of people have downloaded it to take a look (as I did) in no way means it is set to become their main browser

I'll second that notion!

You can make it as shiney as you want Google, it isn't going on my PC. And as for that EULA...
