    Can you list the advantages it has over, say, Firefox?


    Also I used to have Chrome on my system although I never used it. Just had it available.
    Funny thing was Chrome somehow downloaded a PUP.amazonbrowserbar and everytime I used one forum, not this one, it would over two or three clicks on that forum slow things down.
    I found I could get rid of this PUP only by cleaning usingAdwCleaner but the PUP would return even though I didn't use Chrome.
    Eventually I deleted chrome and the PUP hasn't returned.
    It's your money. Except if it's the governments.

    IE = the Firefox installer utility.
