Quite frankly i'm surprised you have the intelligence to turn on your computer. Google has quite clearly explained how to tell it what to index and what not to index. If you made your htaccess file too easy to find, that's your fault. There is no conspiracy, get over it.

i dont trust an opt out system, and what i am hearing is that it could be possible for chrome to assist google to spider content that its spiders cant access.
there is no way i will risk my users information with googles opt out, robots.txt, meta tags, or any other such thing. i certainly hope your own users arent depending upon you to safeguard their data, noob.

If your users are that bloody paranoid, they should disconnect their modem and go back to snail mail.

they arent paranoid at all. its my job to be paranoid.

So... I run a website, that only exists because people visit it... and I'm supposed to enforce my views on Google's browser on them?

I'd rather my ste work badly in Chrome than not at all.

What a waste of time this mod is.

What if Google block your site in return ?

You need retraining

install

if you dont want your site to be indexed create a robot.txt file simple...

sorry, but why in the world should I block people using a certain browser from using my forum? This reminds me of the old days where you could find websites with 'optimised for internet explorer only' or 'best viewed with netscape navigator'. If I came across one of these websites in the past, personally I got angry and stopped visiting this websites. I don't want my users to get angry and stop visiting my website. So why should I block them???

whats the need in looking at the mod and commenting when you have no intention of using, or installing the mod. For whatever reason the OP had the need for this mod and released it here FREE. I dont see you all complain about his ibproarcade mod!

If you dont like the mod, have no need for it, or generally disagree with it, why even bother to post??

just my 2 cents

Because we don't want the internet turning into a crap hole. Someone needs to shed some light on these silly rumors or the kids will never learn.

If that's your goal, you already lost. The internet is a crap hole. This mod doesn't even make a difference. If one of these "kids" decides to ban a browser from their website, I don't think you'd even notice. And if you somehow do, just use a different browser or go to a different website.

I second that! lol

Dumb modification.

Even dumber post

is there anyway this code can be placed as a template edit ? instread of a plugin

So long as you don't have warez or anything illegal then there's nothing to worry about.

whhy block google chrome? i might make a modification to block firefox.

i just read the google chromes TOS changed...

"10. Content license from you

10.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services."

And I skimmed over their privacy policy http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/privacy.html

And I don't think they're doing this anymore... correct me if I'm wrong because I'd like to install this as I've got content/users who I don't want the world knowing about (not bad just would like it to be private/safe)

I have a lot of private content and I sue Chrome all the time and none of my content has ever been made public via Google, and it's TOTALLY ABSURD to think it EVER will.

The only "legitimate" use for this mod is if you're too lazy or inexperienced to style correctly and your pages don't look good on Chrome.

I'd like to see a modification like this for those using Internet Explorer 6 http://www.sociallyuncensored.com/fo...lies/ninja.gif

Not 7, 8, or 9 .... Just IE6
