  • flr666, on 09/03/2008, -0/+21A total joke. I am not touching this software
    • JacobParker, on 09/03/2008, -12/+2Just try it, it's really quick.
  • opique, on 09/03/2008, -0/+9I knew it was too good to be true :(
  • wilroz, on 09/03/2008, -1/+3What a disappointment. I thought better of Google.
  • PeterBassett, on 09/03/2008, -0/+5I just tried to submit this myself...

    Wow! Do no evil, indeed. That is quite spectacular in its evil-ness.

    • rabidmonkey1, on 09/03/2008, -0/+1Thanks for that comment, *Pete!*
  • itsmoirob, on 09/03/2008, -0/+14So Google owns THIS comment?
    • ZiggyJay, on 09/03/2008, -0/+3But not this reply.
    • itsmoirob, on 09/04/2008, -0/+1Well they retroactively don't own this comment now.
  • ArtemD, on 09/03/2008, -1/+4Google is so stupid for even trying this. Why would you ever use browser that will steal all your data? Unless they change their EULA I will personally never touch anything they do with a stick.

    P.S. I still can't believe they actually..did this...
    • theNazz, on 09/03/2008, -0/+1It's nothing that Google hasn't already done with Google Toolbar and Google Desktop...
  • germania, on 09/03/2008, -2/+4it's OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE people, if you don't like it, go to http://www.chromium.org, download the source code, and remove the stuff you don't like. This isn't apple or microsoft selling you a black box that alludes to them gathering your data.
  • GreyMalkin, on 09/03/2008, -11/+0Stop being paranoid babies – it's all good.
  • iPoul, on 09/03/2008, -0/+4Google owns me.

    This browser will not change that, so i might as well use it.
  • then00b, on 09/03/2008, -2/+2Google is fuking terrible.

    Yeah, their search engine has revolutionized the internet but their apps.. have not.

    Arrogant pricks..
  • CarnivalOfDust, on 09/03/2008, -0/+7Erm... Thanks but no thanks, Google.
  • TheAirLoom, on 09/03/2008, -0/+1Great browser, but this is unacceptable. Uninstalled!
  • Peeps, on 09/03/2008, -0/+1Finally rearing it's ugly head.
  • adam1mc, on 09/03/2008, -1/+1I used to hold Google up on some pedistal, but now I don't seem them to be much different than Microsoft or AT&T.

    Go F yourself Google.
  • 2of8, on 09/03/2008, -0/+0I don't think my personal emails / facebook messages / map searches are so interesting that anyone at Google would want to look at them.
  • guitarangel, on 09/03/2008, -0/+0This is definitely unacceptable. Not to mention sneaky.
  • krinthekuz, on 09/16/2008, -0/+1mirror: http://tapthehive.s483.sureserver.com/discuss/This ...
  • LouieNet, on 09/03/2008, -0/+1I've stopped using Gmail, and will remove my address book before too long so I'm not tempted to add to it.
  • chaobell, on 09/03/2008, -1/+0For Christ's sake, not this ***** again. Obviously some people haven't been on the Internet very long. DeviantArt has the same clause in its ToS. So does CafePress. So does Geocities. There were major ***** just like this over all of them. Settle down.
  • ZiggyJay, on 09/03/2008, -0/+1ALL UR CONTENTS R BELONG TO US
  • oxphantomxo, on 09/03/2008, -0/+3Chrome's "Omnibar" can also access all keystrokes a user types, and Google will store some of this information along with IP addresses.
  • Ender15, on 09/03/2008, -0/+1Also, note that this also applies to all of google's services.

    Did you type up your research paper in google docs?

    Wave goodbye.
  • xtraa, on 09/03/2008, -0/+1// Uninstall.

    Google, get your lawyers straight.
  • Elliottx, on 09/03/2008, -0/+2People actually read the EULA? .....Wow...
  • eighto2, on 09/03/2008, -0/+1...Do no evil?
  • EllipsisAeon, on 09/04/2008, -0/+1c'mon people, so what if the EULA says they use any website content that you view with the browser, or sell/publish anything you do online; bank account info, that special site you visit for 'dates', maybe the online RX you got for something from a special 'date'.

    There are comics, praise and backlash on Google's Chrome browser all over the place:
