Firefox has equal share with Chrome and most of the techies I know still use Firefox. Not having every private test URL of stuff you're working on sent to Google is reason enough. I do have several dev friends that use Chrome. They're usually mobile devs unconcerned with privacy (they have everything in Google).

- JohnTHaller 13y agoFirefox has a separate search box from the URL box for a reason. Every keystroke of the search box is sent to Google so the auto-complete results come up. Chrome has a single box for both URLs and search, so every character of every URL you type is sent to Google. That's the difference.
- throwawaay 13y agoPut up or shut up: Please provide evidence that Chrome sends private URLs to Google.
- Curmudgel 13y agoIf you have omnibox predictions turned on, every keystroke is logged. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/180655?hl=en https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/180655?hl=en
