Cassp,
I'm on really slow dialup, and until a few days ago I was using Mozilla Firefox, which is a great browser. However, I recently downloaded the latest and greatest upgrade of Firefox and on dialup I noticed a huge slowdown of everything while online. (Wish I wouldn't have upgraded!)
Google Chrome, however, seems to be a bare bones browser that responds immediately to my mouse clicks, which has never been the case with Firefox or Microsoft's Internet Explorer8. Chrome seems, at least IMHO, to be a great browser and very user friendly.
Mike,
I'm too old to worry about Big Brother watching, none of this stuff is scary to me, and maybe someday this will bite me in the ass. But believe me, the person or organization doing the biting will not like what they're sinking their teeth into at all.

And, if you think for one minute that every Internet site you've ever visited over these many years is not storing, using and selling your browser information, you gotta' believe in the Tooth Fairy too.
