You're right that it's not a botnet. It IS a tracking tool and ad engine for Google. Corporate wants that money.
Although, since the application is closed source, maybe it is a botnet. Same thing with IE/Safari/Opera. Who knows? The whole weird relationship between chrome and Chromium is just begging the question: why re-release an open source application like Chromium as closed source unless you're adding stuff people would get mad about?
If you really want to use chrome, use Chromium instead. Enabling corporate greed and supporting non-free software (especially when an almost identical FOSS copy is available) is unethical and immoral.

Chrome used to be a mostly light weight and fast browser, then google started marketing it more and adding all kinds of bloat, they even rewrote the UI toolkit, forked webkit and instead of improving the already decent userscript support they forced most users to use the web store.
Opera is dead and other browsers can't handle support six billing pages of html5 specs.
Firefox is still pretty good ignoring the retarded australis interface, crappy versioning and other bloat that has been added recently, the only perfomance issues with it are in some html5 stuff compared to chrome.

Even if Chrome stopped be a botnet, I still wouldn't use it. I will not use a browser that will not let you change the position of the tabs. That's just annoying.

Thanks.
I am not sure if Hopeless Tier is discouraged from using here. Is there anything inherently wrong with using these, specifically Sleipnir? I remember using it and it seemed modern and fast, and I can imagine that tab organisation works very well if you can use it, but I found it somewhat messy. So, could anyone here explain why Sleipnir or the other two should (not) be used?

Ive been using Vuze on my mac for years and never had any problem with it. I have also never updated it because It already does everything I need. Recently ads pop up from time to time on the bottom right of the program and they tell me if i upgrade or something the ads will go away. Should I get rid of it?
my personal mac broke. I plan on getting it fixed and installing Ubuntu

I think it just says hopeless as in there isn't a usebase for them. As in, it is hopeless for the devs if they are trying to make money off of it.
If it functions and isn't using a modern chrome or firefox backend you are probably fine.
Yes, the image is old, I don't want to make it seem like it is definitive it was just the only one I've ever seen.

Firefox should be dropped to the second-to-last tier.
- Removed the option to disable Javascript.
- Showing advertisements every time you open a new tab.
- Requiring add-ons to be "verified" (addons are really the only reason to use firefox in the first place, and soon your favorite addon might be gone).
- Shitty default settings especially privacy wise (sending referer, mainstream default search engines...)
- Badly arranged preferences menu...(well, that's always been there I guess)
- Justifying their bad choices with crappy, fraudulent PR on their website. Blocking comments under certain topics (like the javascript situation).
There's no reason for Firefox anymore, when we have alternatives like IceCat who have the same browsing capabilities without the other problems. But we really should support promising "new blood" like QupZilla, which shows signs of great design behind it, even if it isn't yet fully featured.

Google Chrome...
1.)Sends the name of the file you're downloading to Google for whitelist checking; stores your IP address associated with the file for a few weeks.[1]
2.)Every URL you even begin to type in the address bar is sent to Google, in whole or in fragments, for auto-completion purposes.[2][3]
3.)Connects to Google every 30 minutes to download a list of malicious URLs, so the fact that you even have Chrome open is transmitted to Google.[1]
4.)Asks you to login to your Google account, so your browsing tabs, history, etc. is stored on Google servers.[4]
5.)Connects to websites in the background before you are even finished typing them in, without your explicit instruction.[5]
6.)Contains an RLZ identifier, an encoded string sent together with all queries to Google.[6]
Summary: There is nothing, nothing, you can do in Chrome that isn't transmitted to Google through some channel.
Welcome to the botnet.

I, for one, use Opera Developer. It's like:
- As fast as Chrome
- Don't have memory leaks like Firefox
- Don't consume RAM like the monster Chrome
- Have all the add-ons of Chrome
- It's Norwegian, has no fucking Jews or SJWs
Only downside: Still waiting for 64-bit version, and developers said they will soon deliver.
But still, I'm closely following Vivaldi's news and waiting for something stable (the current experience is not that great).

Im using Opera because its fast, has all the addons I need and it isnt a botnet. Ive tried Vivaldi and its okay but it uses a lot of RAM at the moment and lacks a lot of addons, so it overall could use some polishing, but im sure once the devs make it better ill switch over from Opera because its only a matter of time before Opera becomes a botnet like the other big browsers.
