Google Chrome is a web browser developed and distributed by Google.

Spyware Level: EXTREMELY HIGH

Google Chrome is not fully open source

Large parts of Google Chrome are open source, however not all of them
are, and this prevents people from checking the entire software for
potential spyware features that are not disclosed.

Google Chrome tracks the user's search history

Google Chrome contains several spyware features that reply on the
user's search history being uploaded to Google servers. This is
confirmed by the language in the privacy policy, clarifying the spyware
features that rely on this.

The first spyware feature is Google Chrome's integration with the
"Google Account" spyware platform. " If you are signed in to a Google
site or signed in to Chrome and Google is your default search engine,
searches you perform using the address bar in Chrome are stored in your
Google account. "

Google Chrome also contains a spyware feature called "Search prediction
service". It is explained that: "When you search using the address bar
in Chrome, the characters you type (even if you haven't hit "enter"
yet) are sent to your default search engine. If Google is your default
search engine, predictions are based on your own search history, topics
related to what you're typing and what other people are searching for."

There is also the spyware feature "Navigation Assistance" which states
that: "When you can't connect to a web page, you can get suggestions
for alternative pages similar to the one you're trying to reach. In
order to offer you suggestions, Chrome sends Google the URL of the page
you're trying to reach. "

Google Chrome profiles your computer usage

In the privacy policy, Google details the extreme spyware feature it
labels "Usage Statistics and Crash Reports". What it does, is it sends
very detailed information about your hardware and computer usage, which
confirms that it definitely contains the following spyware features:
* A tracker that records mouse input over time A tracker that
* profiles memory usage

But, it can also be extrapolated from the vague language that Chrome
could and probably does monitor what other programs you have open.
Either way, it is an extreme amount of information being collected,
since it can be used to recreate what the user is doing on their
desktop at all times. Chrome clarifies that this information is being
sent whenever a website is being "slow" or whenever Google Chrome
crashes.

Google Chrome is integrated with Google Payments

Google Payments is a spyware service that records your banking
information and sends it to Google. This service is integrated into the
Google Chrome browser, which makes it another opt-in spyware feature in
the software.

Google Chrome contains a keylogger

This was confirmed in multiple places. Basically, whenever you type
into the search bar, that information is sent to Google. You can
apparently turn it off by opting out of the "suggestion service".

Google Chrome records your voice

Google Chrome is confirmed to be constantly listening to any open
microphones on your computer. This can be found in this statement in a
privacy publication. "Voice & audio information may be collected. For
example, if your child uses audio activation commands (e.g., "OK,
Google" or touching the microphone icon), a recording of the following
speech/audio, plus a few seconds before, will be stored to their
account..." This feature is opt-in if you are using the "Google
Accounts" spyware platform and specifically tell Google to build a
profile of your child. It's unverified whether or not Google uploads
information it listens too to its servers outside of this feature.

Google Chrome saves user passwords on Google Servers

Any password stored in Google Chrome's "password management" feature is
uploaded to Google if you sign into the "Google Accounts" spyware
platform.

Google Chrome profiles users in other various ways

According to the privacy policy, Google Chrome profiles what kinds of
web forms you fill out, as well as what kind of language the content
you consume is primarily in. Google Chrome also creates a unique
identifier for each install you do. This unique identifier is sent to
Google whenever you start the browser, so that Google can create a
consistent user identity for you, undermining anonymity. Google also
stores all of your settings on it's official servers when using the
"Google Accounts" feature.

Google Chrome is self-updating software

Google Chrome has an updater which is constantly running in the
background and syncing with Google servers to check for updates. The
updater will download and run unverified binaries from Google when it
updates Google Chrome. It is impossible for an automatic updater
service such as this to verify that the updates are not spyware and/or
do not contain additional spyware features.
