Well, what is the point so? You're dropping Google Chrome because you think google should control you more?

How are you running Yosemite on a white MacBook? Is it a 4,1 2008-ish MacBook that maxes out at 4GB of RAM? Just curious, because I have one of those but I'm still running SL on it because I figured Mavericks would be a dog.
I have a MacBook White Unibody (13-inch, Late 2009) with 8GB of RAM. This have a 64-Bit architecture and I can run the latest OSX without any problems. http://support.apple.com/kb/sp579

Agreed. I have been using DDG for ~two years. Maybe once or twice a week, I actually ask DDG to search in google (with awesome "!g" or "!img" bang-commands). DDG works consistently great, and the new DDG is even better, with auto-completion, images and video tabs. And I'm using Firefox as well.
Save yourself half the keystrokes! !img == !i
Huh, and all this time I've been using !gi
You, sir, have just increased my productivity by 33.3%.

#54Firefox is faster these days. If you find it slower then you probably have addons that are slowing things down.
Try disabling your addons and enable them one by one to find the culprit.

I think the reason Apple specified 4GB is max is because four years ago there were not any 4GB sticks for testing and Apple does not retest years later for a discontinued product.

#56Iron browser = Chrome without Google.

#57I've tried chrome/mozilla, and did not like either.
I use Opera and highly suggest it!
Issue I had with chorme is when I would open up a new tab it would flash to a white screen quickly before loading the background image of my home/speeddial page.

#58Opera = chrome - google
Re: Quitting Chrome: Because Google+
#59This sounds backwards to me. If anything, you should be quitting Google, the search engine, rather than their browser. Google can live without you being a Chrome user, but it hurts them if you switch to Bing or duckduckgo.
Yes, but switching to Firefox also hurts me a lot less than switching to Duck Duck Go.
DDG is great! They've come a long way in the last year, and I've switched to using DDG as my primary search resource on iOS, Linux & OS X. The amount of times I can't find what I need on DDG and have to revert to Google Search these days is less than 10% I'd say.

#60I switched browsers for a different reason: I installed OS X Yosemite beta and it seems like the Safari browser uses far less COU resources, noticeable by longer battery life.
Worthwhile noting that even if you have the Flash Player Plug-in installed in Safari it runs much smoother & is less resource intensive than Chrome. Apple seem to have done a great job on the latest Safari.
