I did mention open source browsers, which google chrome was not last time I checked. Not to mention I do dislike googe's privacy policies, so I'm myself staying away (wherever I can) from anything even just derived from google's code. Even less I'm inclined to push this onto my users. I can not interfere with them when they are dying to have google chrome on their machines, but that is different. Thanks for adding a candidate to my list of potential replacements for firefox (which didn't make it to my list, still thanks for the effort!).
