Although I wonder if promoting Bing (Microsoft product) is such a good idea ...... (my personal opinion).

Hello n7zzf,

Quoting you : " If firefox is a Google product "

Firefox is not a Google product - the company that makes Firefox is Mozilla ......

If Google is not the backer of Mozilla then why does Mozilla use GOOGLE for safe browsing. ? Mozilla appears to have resources for virtual PN why not safe browsing ? I will continue to use Mozilla products because they WORK BUT the word GOOGLE does not give a sense of security !! MOZILLA does !!

'Had never heard of Excite, so I went to find some information about it - looks good : simple and "clean" (maybe a weird way to describe it .... ).

You too be safe and have a wonderful life (thank you for those kind words)  !

And I don't think that you're an old grouch - just somebody who values his privacy and safety (nothing wrong with that).
