If I remember correctly (I'm getting old and my memory is not what it used to be...) I was using Altavista until I around 2000 when I started using Google.
During my first web experience in 1995 I used Webcrawler until I was introduced to Altavista. Just checked, Webcrawler is still around! I used Yahoo a few times but never used it as my 'main' search engine as I did with Altavista and later Google.

18 years ago I used the web for the first time. And Internet in general. 18 years. The children of today probably believe that the industrial revolution was made possible because of the Internet...

heheh :)

I'm sure google nab it everytime i login from Chrome on my phone.
I upgraded my phone firmware yesterday. Suddenly I have Chrome installed. I haven't used it so far.

I remember when Chrome was new. I installed it on my PC and later the same day Chrome crashed and I uninstalled it and haven't used it since. I'm sure it's much, much better now but you remember first impressions.
