everyday chrome (was RE: Chrome browser crash)

["McLauchlan, Kevin" <Kevin -dot- McLauchlan -at- safenet-inc -dot- com>]

I originally installed Chrome since it became a popular browser 
and therefore necessary for me to test-view my WebHelp for our 
products, just as I also have IE, Opera, Safari, and of course 
Firefox. 

It wasn't long before it became my go-to browser for general 
browsing. It's quick, and was generally solid. (Similarly, at 
home, on my Mac.) IE was always a problem child, and Firefox 
was growing by lurches and heavings (that would have been "by 
leaps and bounds" for anything less bloated...).

However, I've been increasingly uncomfortable with the 
boundless enthusiasm of Google to track me in each of 
a billion possible ways. 

So Iron sounds like a good option. Can anyone think of a 
good reason why Iron would NOT be a good proxy for Chrome, 
for test-viewing my WebHelp before I kick it out the door? 

On the other hand, since I've been using Chrome for a few 
years, now, is there any actual privacy benefit to switching 
to Iron?   Google has my profile nailed from umpty-eleven 
different directions, including the IP addresses from which 
I browse, and I'm certain they track me, no matter 
which browser I use to access my gmail accounts. . .   oi!
