Personally, I wouldn't use the script but I'm tempted in using hasaans little gem. :up::D

Okay, so I've installed this script on the offchance that the path taken by google makes my life difficult when it comes to styling for their browser. I style alot, I don't like styling, I like chrome but I'd love to work less (as stated) if chrome in the future prooves to be a pain to style for which is the reason I'm using this modification. :D

Thanks for the contribution Marcel.

Installed.

They are not offering a browser because there nice but because they want to follow users off search engines more.


At first they used the browser to better build their search engine, however since then things have changed.

I think some of you should just unplug your computer.

Seriously. Every browser can and does have the capability to collect things and 'phone home' without your knowledge. It's called being paranoid. It's not like they are collecting your personal information and reporting it to credit agencies, the FBI, and god knows who else. Personally, I have no problems with any browser that visits my forum.

It is not your forum you have to worry about, it is what they take from your PC , if you are happy with a browser that will index your bank account and transmit its contents then carry on.

It will be faster while it has less features and zero plugins and yes you should be worried about privacy.

Wow, people need to take the time to do their OWN research and not just believe what they hear. It's been mentioned in the news as well as in this thread that the EULA was a copy / paste screw up that they've since fixed.

As for the indexing, has anyone PROVEN that Google has access to this information? Or is it just localized to your computer?

I hate Chrome :D

Thank you very much for this mod :) Need one for IE5 and IE6 as well. Saw the link for someone with IE6 what about IE5? Some companies lock business computers with IE5 and really would like to deny them access.
