There are sites for families, for children, and for everyone in-between that are private because they don't want their personal information or discussions stored by google or other search engines or accessed by someone with questionable intentions.

Introducing a browser that has the ability to add information of any nature to an already huge collection of information on you in order to deliver ads more tailored to the user of that browser (and charge a higher premium for I would suspect) would not be welcomed by owners of sites offering privacy for families, children, battered women, people with aids, etc.

Some sites, such as the ones I operate, do not use google ads or google analytics or allow search engines and do not allow Chrome for the simple reason that the members want some privacy and security while using my sites.

Until the privacy of data collected by Chrome has been tested in court it is banned from the sites I run that offer members a level of privacy and security not normally found on the net. And no, there is no adult material on my sites.

Other contributors to this thread welcome Chrome as it serves the purpose of their site. Other site owners don't because it serves the purposes of their site.
