    Is it just me or is the latest beta of Google Chrome loading so quickly it's scary?

    Not sure, I think you need chrome-beta, not regular chrome.

    Not sure if it's the same, cause don't use it.

    Check through Google Chrome EULA and you'll see. Chrome is the last browser to use.

    Google have the search engine, which stores what you search for, then they have access to your emails if you use gmail. Then there is google earth (but thats not to bad, although they decided to publish the Faslane Nuclear sub base when they updated it even though they knew they weren't allowed to publish it as they had to remove i before, terrorists dream), then there is street view which is a burglars paradise, nice one google, they once tried to buy facebook, and they have bought twitter.

    So give it a few years if that, and they'll be able to see how you live your life by your browsing habits and emails, find out who your friends are and work mates when they acquire facebook, aswell as twitter which they already own, then they use street view to find where you live from the address you put in when you open up an email account youtube account or google account of some sort. So basically, soon they will know every last little thing about you.

    Thats actually kind of scary thinking about all of that, but I've always trusted Google with everything and rely on them quite well. Do you really think they would use any information for improper use?
