So I just knew Chrome would be a spy and want to communicate with base. I use Firefox, have AVg and use Zone Alarm firewall (as well as AVG firewall) and it tells me if any software wants to talk to mummy back home on the quiet. I'm not having this level of intrusion. The stuff that the lawyer posted wants circulating to the blogosphere IMO.Dr Evilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176521760477086914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4471993488623327927.post-3564484517994447542008-09-04T09:54:00.000+01:002008-09-04T09:54:00.000+01:00In mitigation, there is an open source version, up...In mitigation, there is an open source version, upon which chrome will be based, called <A HREF="http://chromium.org/" REL="nofollow">chromium</A>. Hopefully, in time this will mean independent builds which have been audited for any skullduggery.countdrunculahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430093104960007860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4471993488623327927.post-83862517434121834732008-09-03T23:41:00.000+01:002008-09-03T23:41:00.000+01:00@HeartAttackSurvivor: Thanks!

Posting in Blogger very sucks with Chrome as well.

Make sure you kill that too when you uninstall the thing, and all files in that path (which the sod leaves behind). Tut tut, leaving executables behind on the system when you've run an uninstall. I ask you, some people are so forgetful. <BR/>And also remove app data\google\chrome, also left behind.<BR/>Nice uninstaller message though:<BR/> "Are you sure you want to uninstall Google Chrome?
