While Google's new Chrome web browser has been met with a lot of praise and positive responses (well, mostly, at least), there has been one nagging issue that arose quite quickly after people got their hands on Chrome: the End User License Agreement accompanying the browser. It more or less granted Google the rights to everything seen or transmitted through the browser. Google now changed the EULA, saying it was a big case of woopsiedoopsie.

There is no reason to switch. What does Chrome offer that can't be had in other much more mature packages? There is no real nagging "void" that chrome fills. And you know why? Because Chrome isn't very innovative or original. Sure, borrow the hell out of other ideas, its how true innovation works "we see so far because we stand on the shoulders of giants"...but you have add something as well. According to future plans when they've added what they want to you'll have even MORE of a clone of other browsers. Oh well.
As for Opera being bloated, thats a new one to me unless of course there is a new definition of bloated which means: feature rich, compact and effecient.
All joking aside, once you've added enouogh third party extensions to firefox to match operas functionality (including an e-mail client) you have a FAR greater resource footprint. Comparisons of vanilla installations would show you they are practically the same, of course, thats not an apples to apples comparison...
