Very interesting thread...
I have used Googles Chrome and on technical merit alone its very good indeed, but after thousands of complaints about their initial EULA 'mistake' the issue of privacy is obviously important to many people, we use a browser to view our bank accounts, secure information, anything we want... but i wouldn't want that scanned or shared in any way by any program ( I have already sacrificed that with another product of Googles 'Gmail' ) - Chrome may be nice and shiny on the outside with all the right bells & whistles but if the back end spews out your info in any way it's not worth anything...to us.
It's a tool, but who does it really benefit? - Think about this, 5 years from now will you be subservient to the the international fascism of Googles domination of the Internet? - using Gmail for your email (which is scanned) chrome for your viewing habits, google.com for your searching or any other legalized Trojan horse tool bar widget with the words 'google - trust us!' written on it... because it's not about making the web a better place, it's about control...in as fewer hands as possible, if you cannot grasp this then you must be living in the land of the free, home of the brave!

- please be my guest, you won't have to look for too long, by which time using chrome they would have a screenshot of the site, your ip, your search data, sites visited and an advert saying "Worried about privacy? - Visit - IBelieve.org"
