Privacy and Google are interesting.

Obviously it makes sense for Google to collect as much data on you as  
possible (tin foil hat removed), as a marketing company its their job to  
do so. However Google have always stated Chrome is an attempt to get  
people using more javascript to create larger javascript based  
applications (similar to Wave). This clearly increases their market for  
ad. revinue etc.

Google are clearly clever enough to know that upsetting the 'tin-foiled'  
geeks, by 'spying' on them would be enough to disrupt its browser.  
Especially given its lowly market share, just a little bad press would  
stop this thing ever taking off.

As has been said though, look at your own traffic yourself, does it  
contain anything it shouldn't? If not then its not a problem. If it does,  
then I'm sure many would like to know about it.


I don't think many people could put it better than Bob already has.
