    Hey guys, I love Google but this is a little disturbing...

    Sigh... google is becoming too powerful. They are now coming out with mobile phones which can probably track what we are saying on it. A little scary if you ask me.

    Did you actually look at the link, or just cut and paste the whole thing? They changed that text a long time ago...

    They still do it... If they save our search queries in their search engines don't you think they would do the same thing with google chrome?

    I can't say for sure what they do, but you were pointing out the "disturbing" text in the EULA, and it's simply not there anymore.

    Yeah, they changed that on the 2nd or 3d day after the release of Chrome. This is really no longer a debate or issue

    Yea, they changed that almost immediately after it got press. There are other reasons not to use Chrome **yet**, but that wouldn't be one of them.

    For me this is not the tool I can you for SEO. FF has thousands of addons while at the moment Chrome lacks them.
