That other browser... you mean SRWare Iron browser? :-)
My default browser is Iron, and my default search engine
is DuckDuckGo.com.
I don't miss the Google filter bubble one bit. But then, I'm in

and not search results based on what somebody thinks I
should want.

PS: At work, I still have to fire up IE, FF, Safari and Opera, to
verify that my Help is OK in all of them. BTW, most compatibility
problems seem to have gone away since MadCap changed the
Flare WebHelp output with Flare 8.x... but that's another discussion.
