Yep, given Google's track record for respecting privacy and their CEO's
public statement:

"If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you
shouldn't be doing it in the first place"

I wouldn't use Chrome if it was the last browser on Earth.

John Corliss BS206. Because of all the Googlespam, I block all posts
sent through Google Groups. I also block as many posts from anonymous
remailers (like x-privat.org for eg.) as possible due to forgeries
posted through them.

No ad, CD, commercial, cripple, demo, nag, share, spy, time-limited,
trial or web wares OR warez for me, please. Adobe Flash sucks, DivX rules.

SR Iron, a company in Germany, has been offering a version of Chrome w/o
the offensive privacy bits. Below is their intro, they also have a page
on the differences between the two. They've been doing this for almost
as long as Chrome's been around so, they seem into it for the long-haul...

Oh, and one benefit for me is that I can enter private mode without
restarting the browser in said mode. It kinda starts it's own private
session.
