im a bit scared of using this just for the fact of the sketchy TOS they had up before about once the content is rendered in the browser they own it…. um yeah….no. and i think that they probably put something in to help them index pages. i know you can submitting data to them off but i dont know if it actually does kill the feed of data to google. i can see them using the millions of computers that will have this as an extension to their google bots to grab sites content. also i really dont need google seeing my bank website or my latest top-secret web development project…
If you turn it off, it’s off. I dunno where I read it, but I read a review by some tech guy who went through the trouble of monitoring the Chrome traffic. There’s nothing uploaded to Google, only downloaded from. It’s all open source, so I guess people would notice it if they were doing it and Google’s rep would get another dent.
On the other hand, there TOS states clearly they might add things later that we’re not notified off. So if it’s not implement it now, they might as well implement it later.
I’m pretty confident with Chrome I must say. I don’t think Google will start profiling your surfing behavior without you knowing it. It would hurt their reputation too much. I think they just wanted this browser to tie people to their apps like gmail, agenda etc because they should perform better in Chrome with the V8 js engine than in FF or other browsers.
Well, that’s just what I think.
