That's a great deal! I'm using Dropbox mostly because I parttook in the beta for their auto-photo upload thing (10Gb free) and then bought an HTC One X phone, which gave me another 25 Gb for free. So I have loads of free space that I have to pay for elsewhere. So that's pretty much why I'm there.

Makes sense. I think that would buy my loyalty as well. :)

It's not so much loyalty as it is cheapness. It would be rather daft of me to go someplace else where I have to pay for the same priviledges I have here for free. ;)

Does Chrome have a good mouse gesture addon that works on EVERY page yet? That's been the major block to me making the switch. I have been using gestures for so many years that working without them is like working with one hand lopped off. And while they do have gestures, they didn't work on several page types in the past due to their security for addons. Not that I don't think having secure addons that can't break your browser/computer/pet dalmatian is a good thing, but I just couldn't stand every other page not working with the gesture addon, so I went back to FF.

I used to use gestures and that was the original reason I switched to Opera (the only browser that used to have them), then got an addon in FF for it. Now though, there are a heapload of gesture addons for Chrome that works just fine, but I've outgrown them and found that I work faster with keyboard shortcuts so they've sort of ... disappeared off my radar. But I know there are addons, because I have used them.

I actually moved away from Chrome on my iPad on account of the seeming lack of a fullscreen mode.

I know there are, and I have as well. The problem was that they didn't work on all pages. Like chrome:// pages didn't support them at all. And that was the sort of page you got with a new tab, I believe, which made it a real pain in the backside.

Ah, that might be because that's not an actual web page. I wouldn't know though. As I said, pretty much a month or two into Chrome I stopped using gestures all together so :/
