I don't use Chrome because of Google, their entire financial model is designed around obtaining, storing, analyzing, and SELLING anything and everything about you to the highest bidders. They have had more than their fair share of "accidental" leaks of your indexed personal data released out into the general public over the years. Sorry - point blank I just don't trust Google. I have an Android phone and it sucks that it's tied to Google - so you can't get away from them but I don't have to put their product on my PC too.

Also if you're into malware you'll find that Chrome is laced with it too just like other browsers except its not always easy to remove without a clean removal of Chrome.

On the subject of tracker pdf-xchange well we do thousands of high quality print images and we've tried just about every knock-off PDF tool known to man but none of them can compete in the quality of prints when do hi-volume prints. The only reason some of these other tools are not attacked is because of their low profile numbers, if they were up in the hundreds of millions of downloads they'd be under attack by malware too and the author constantly fighting to fix holes.


No doubt that NoScript does take a lot of effort to get it "trained" but once you're over the main hurdle and have it working on your main sites and ordering sites you'll wonder how you ever did without it.

If you want an eye opener of how websites actually work behind the scenes then try the following.

Install Firefox and then go install both of these plugins and start surfing the Web and you'll see just how many sites are running dozens of scripts and talking with dozens of other sites and in most cases if you're using IE you'd never even know all of this was going on.

The vast majority of infections these days are from drive by attacks from websites. Well NoScript and RequestPolicy prevent those scripts from running.
I've spent numerous hours surfing all kinds of sites and Warez sites and Game hacks, etc trying to infect a computer running only SP3 on XP Pro with no other updates and no Antivirus and after hours and hours of hundreds of sites I was not able to infect the computer with anything.

You don't have to use Firefox and these plugins but just as an experiment to see what it shows you might be good

NoScript
