Google throws the BOMB: NEW BROWSER! OPEN, MULTITHREADED, AVAILABLE TODAY!

[Colani1200]

There are plenty of reasons to stay away from Chrome. To name a few:

1.) It is Windows only.

2.) It is made by a company that is financed by internet adverts.

3.) It is made by a company that disrespects people's privacy.

4.) It is insecure. http://raffon.net/research/google/chrome/carpet.html

5.) Read the EULA.

6.) Read the EULA again.

No, thanks...

Once security issues are addressed and we find out exactly what information goes to google from our browsing we will see.

Just look here:
http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/privacy.html

"When you type URLs or queries in the address bar, the letters you type are sent to Google..."

"If you navigate to a URL that does not exist, Google Chrome may send the URL to Google..."

"Your copy of Google Chrome includes one or more unique application numbers. These numbers and information about your installation of the browser (e.g., version number, language) will be sent to Google..."

and so on and so on...

You still want to use it? Then I can't help you.
