    Hey guys, what's up?

    I'm wondering if having the keyword chrome (dunno if Chrome is a Google trademark or something) on a domain name will be legal. In my opinion it's completely legal but who knows this days.

    Searched for it on google, and found a lot of websites using chrome on their domain name so...

    Give me some lights on it, I'll appreciate it.

    I don't think so, I just wanted to be sure :)
    Nowadays, if you sneeze on a public street you get sued...

    Using Chrome isn't going to be infringement with google. Using "chrome" in a way that relates to a browser or related part of google's usage would be - i.e. ChromePlugins, GoogleChrome, ChromeBrowserDownload, etc.
