I downloaded and tested it yesterday... and what a sucky installation... you download a 400kb file which then pulls some more data from the internet, no option to indicate WHERE you want to install it (apparently somewhere in my documents :s), no option to say that i would NOT like some more desktop items ... At least it didnt switch to be the default browser. On the other hand...it does start very quick, but accessing pages is pretty slow actually. For every page it keeps trying (for like a second or so) to access a proxy, then switches to default mode and really access the server. Drawing of pages is very smooth though, and i like the looks of it. Michiel Kenny Billiau wrote:

Yeah, but read the discussion. This agreement is about your google account in general (things you post on Picasa, Google Docs, etc...). As the whole Chrome thing is open source and Google isn't the most trustworthy when it comes to privacy, I think enough programmers will check the code to see what information is being sent home and sound the alarm when things get out of hand. It's quite possible that Chrome is the opportunity for Google to gather more information about surfing behavior, but I think that's the worst they can do. If you're using GMail, they're already reading your emails anyway. T.

The only thing that pisses me off is the fact that googleupdater stays installed even if you remove chrome... No i can go home and start cleaning up that mess :(
