I keep FF installed as on occasion it's good for some things. I have Chrome installed on my work laptop as it's needed for testing, but haven't installed it on home desktop or laptop. Haven't tried Opera in years -- didn't like it last time, and just haven't bothered.

I'm considering DuckDuckGo for specific sites that do heavy tracking, e.g., FB, Google, Amazon. I like the idea of having them segregated from my other activities, although I have no idea at this point how useful that really is. But it's a thought.

Side thought for everyone -- periodically go through cookies and nuke anything that is either unwanted or ya have no idea what it is. Pour your favorite drink first, as it will take longer than expected.

Recently I went through saved PWD and nuked a bunch of 'em. I don't save PWD in the browser for anything that matters (no financial stuff!!) and use distinct PWD for all accounts, but it's a good idea to keep things cleaned up on a periodic basis.

It just occurred to me to install Chrome, just to see what Google has stored. I'll nuke it all, and hope for the best.
