Note also, when you download Chrome you recieve a unique browser
identifier number. That means Google not only knows what people are
typing, but Google also knows what browser it came from.
Do you REALLY want to agree to such terms?

Really quick: I agree the EULA is bogus. But I want to point out
that Google is redrafting it. Apparently, complaints from folks like
me are sinking in. So I agree, don't agree to the EULA as it is, but
let's wait and see what changes they make. (I've got plenty of time,
they don't have the Linux version out yet.)
I'm more concerned about Firefox and some of the more interesting
changes they are making to their EULA. I've already received
instructions on how to strip the EULA out of v3 and compile it
anyway. Takes a little work, but it does give you a way to avoid it.
God bless Open Source.

looking at that you care if someone saw it? I look at crap that I
wouldn't want some of my friends looking at, but if some random
stranger looked at my history and had a bit of a chuckle, I couldn't
care less. It's anonymous through numbers, rather than secrecy.
And I don't mind agreeing to a crappy EULA, It's not like I really
care what they do with my info. (well unless they sell it and it
contains un-anonymous data)
