For some reason, my main Chrome installation broke (kept resetting itself every few days). Also, I became fed up with sending all my settings, bookmarks and history to Google.

So I tried Opera. It had a few quirks which ultimately threw me off too much. Hence, Firefox. It does not annoy me (much). That is all I ask from good software.

Also, Firefox syncing is quite amazing.

Divorcing myself from Google is still in progress though, with maps and calendar being the last holdouts.
