Thanks for info, ds store. Wish I'd known about Chrome, however. I should have, knowing already how intrusive they are (just check gmail on that count. They want to know everything!).
I have to say also that I don't understand why Apple can't update Safari for all it's recent platforms instead of just for one, whichever is latest. Doing that leaves customers who don't want or need to update platforms high and dry with respect to Apple's own browser. I could run IE8 with Windows 98 if I had to. As it is, I run it with XP, by now several generations old. So one for Microsoft and zip for Apple on that count.

I don't recommend Chrome as they install a root level updater that requires removing all their software and the updater to get rid of it, Firefox would be the better choice.
Having installed Chrome, as you know, can you tell me whether or not Mac Keeper would do the job of removal? I have that too, and they sort of lay claim to being able to remove all pieces of programs/apps in one easy move. Course I'm skeptical. Assuming "no" for an answer, is there someplace I can look at that gives step-by-step instructions on how thoroughly to be rid of Chrome? I also gather that simply dropping the App in the Trash won't work either, at least not to be thoroughly rid of any app really?
