After a first try, it seems we all get back to our old browser.

I don't see Chrome in my stats!

From a technical perspective, Firefox can definitely keep up. Soon Firefox will have a much faster JavaScript engine, for example. But with Google’s visibility Chrome will easily grow a huge user base. They’re already advertising it on AdWords.

Of course, Google will say it's only an update tool. But how to really know what does this program?

That's true we are spied from several ways, but Google already know a lot about us.

SO the question is:
HAs GOogle been confronted and asked about this? And what did they say?

As well, One can alway just completely wipe there Computer HD clean and start over.

LIke opening up by running a completely independant start up HD.

Any comments?

The only real problem is when Systems are bought completely pre installed with spy ware built in that is burried in a sub mother board flash like nano memory chip.
Then we are fucked.

If you still want or need to use Chrome, don't forget to suppress googleupdate.exe from the registry. It's here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
