Block Google's CHROME-Browser
 

This Modification blocks all visitors using Google's CHROME-browser from your vBulletin.

Those users get a message in their Google-Browser that they should use any other browser and come back :)

Just curious, why would one block Google Chrome?

I was just thinking this as well? Maybe because its a Beta and is buggy?

Because this "browser" is collecting more than alot data about what users do, visit, surf to and even alot about the visited content - and some might not want all this on their site with their content...

Thanks, I think this promotes this Modification :D

thank"s so match

But this EULA clasue is fixed

it isn't needful for me!

Uninstalled

interesting mod IMO

It's an open source browser. Anybody can modify or look in to their code.
It's really laughable that people fear from it/spreading fud... :rolleyes:

This browser not collecting "more than alot" data whatever that means...

My thoughts too.....

The EULA fix was underway long before Hasann even made his post too.

The thing is its almost like google has crossed the line, now can now collect huge amounts of data about users.

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

That's like closing the barn door after all the animals have been slaughtered by wolves. Retaining copyright of content you didn't want searched, or scraped, or abused in the first place is no protection at all.

Besides, monitoring the habits of people gives me shivers regarding privacy loss.

omg @ the ignorance o.O

Chrome dose not log any information. it was just a copy/paste error with the EULA.

I think the mod would get more of an uptake if it said

"Every time you access the internet using chrome, god kills a kitten"

While your at it, you might as well ban IE 6 and IE 7 as they break the internet :D

and IE 8 Beta

"Google receives only standard log information including your machine?s IP address and one or more cookies "

Wow great... hehhee

This mod is very useful! It's like anti-spy mod!

If your community is closed for guests, google now have the chance to read your content, your private messages and more!

Don't be stupid, install this mod ;-)

.. but we need phrases for the diffrent languages! Please update the mod! ;-)

*If* this was true, wouldn't it be better to code this so it blocks people from reading PM's while using chrome and it can be turned on a per forum basis?...otherwise you would be just shooting yourself in the foot.

They may have access to such contents?

Installed 'till further notices.

thx for this MOD. was actually looking for this..

btw, how do I block IE6 & bellow version ?

OK after installing this, I'm getting this...

Whoever said ignorance is bliss, was wrong.

I guess Google owns this post now too. I'm a Chrome user (with a brain) and loving it.

/me uninstalls this mod.

just turn the option off in chrome settings :rolleyes: and they won't collect any of your information.

I wish this was on Digg so I could bury it.

Do your research before making superfluous claims.

You're not only fear-mongering others who don't know any better than to believe everything on the internet, you're also showing your own ignorance by waving this "OMG GOOGLE = EVIL" flag.

PS - Google owns this post too.

I wouldn't want to limit anyone from visiting my site ;)

That has been removed and has been labeled as a mistake.

Oh, common people, wtf is it with all the people acting like google is an evil company.

First of all, if Google would collect data, it is to personalize advertising. You see advertising anyway, so it might as well be personalized. And be sure, there are tons of people (especially in America) following every step that google makes, and with the smallest movement that could lead to privacy conflict they make a claim against google.
And as the code of chrome is open source, there would already be tons of claims if that was the case.

Secondly what is it with all the people and their 'privacy'. What do you care if google knows you surf to porn, is it because you're ashamed of the things you do on the internet?

And you need to use a browser anyway, if it's not from google it's from microsoft, apple, mozilla or another company that could do the same thing as well.

I like Chrome, it's fast and it works decent so far. If I go to a site that says I can't use my browser, than I'll don't use the site instead.

Please block this thread for google chrome users :D

Guys, honestly, we are not talking about blocking google chrome from public forums and communities. This mod is good for those who want to have no google in their communities for reason of datamining.

People who wants to use the spyware browser can do this, this mod is for blocking this browser, don't you understand? :)

What was they even thinking putting that in there Terms of Service ?

They Sure changed there minds pretty fast..

Dont Hurt me Google ,, I Love Google They Are My Friend

Here is a dumb comment:

If Google wanted your site, wouldnt they just scrape it with a search engine? I mean that is what those things do. A browser is the LEAST efficient tool if you were trying to harvest web content.

whether you install this or not... still google will collect the data from your site. period.

Google Crome is not bad -<]

/me is uninstalling google chrome

i dont need them knowing when i visit a porno site ;p

I LoL'd

And to think, Ibproarcade is such a good mod, and then you come out with this?

Talk about a reputation killer. How could you do this to yourself? I would be searching high and low for the edit/erase button on this one.

Flabbergasted :erm:

^Agreed. I saw your name pop up on my feed reader and was excited for a moment... Then I clicked the link.
