   Howdy!,   
      
   I had been using Scunia PSI to see if any software I use needs updating.   
   Now I'm using an Avast! option.   
      
   Avast has a Tab selection that checks (some) program I use to see if   
   their Version is up-to-date.   
      
   When I see the Results there is always a Premarked Box to make   
   Google Chrome the default Browser.   
      
   I always uncheck the Box before closing the Avast window.   
      
   Because I see this 'suggestion' from Avast to begin using the Chrome   
   Browser often enough, I have began wondering how many readers of this echo   
   use Google's Chrome for their main browser or as an optional browser?   
      
   I use the Mozilla Firefox ESR version most of the time, sometimes I   
   will use the Opera browser, but I like how Firefox does what it does for   
   me.   
      
   I'm reluctant to change to Google's browser just because of what I have   
   read about them (GOOGLE) storing all the DATA they get about their users.   
      
   When I visit a web page I use NoScript to select just the links the site   
   needs so I can see the information on their page(s).   
      
   I usually never allow any 'services(?)' from Google unless I can't see   
   what I want to see on the page I'm looking at.   
      
   Things like Google Maps I do allow usually.   
      
   Also I don't like allowing any AmazonAWS stuff that NoScript says the   
   website would like me to Allow.   
      
   Same O, Same O when the FireWall shows that a Google or Amazon URL wants   
   to be allowed.   
      
   I've purchased a small amount of products through Amazon but I don't   
   visit their website anymore.   
      
   I know that I'm a 'hard case' but I would like to know Your opinion   
   about the Google Chrome browser, Thank You.
