So google will keep track of every site I visit while using their browser? Am I reading this correct?

Does IE or Firefox keep track of every site you visit?

Basically they all do, it's just sayn that it has the right to display stuff u've been to for their beta testing... but if you dig deep into your c:\local setting\user\data folders all the browsers do unless u go and chop it all up manually.

No, read my post above... they have changed that already. They used "boilerplate" text for the terms and have now backed down on some of them.

My question is this though:

Is Google actually keeping track of every site you browse? Is this trail being sent to Google and being saved on their servers?

This is what the terms seem to say. I don't think Microsoft has a log of every site I go to with IE.

hmmm, my 32bit system with 3gb ram and firefox opens and loads the sideshow page in 5 seconds flat. Not to mention Im on a DSL connection too...

Sticking to firefox until this google one gets all the bugs flushed out and is a proven winner.

No I'm not talkn about that, I sayn the storage of where ever you've been... In all browsers on ur local host! Whose to say they don't do it on their own servers, them? Ha.

If I had to guess, I would say that they don't intend to keep a log of every site you visit, but rather accumulate statistics on which sites are visited, to improve the visibility of popular sites in their search results pages.

Besides, it only logs information when you type in site names in the "omnibox", and there are already two different documented ways to prevent Google from logging the information, so if you are concerned, then use one of those methods.

Yes I agree, thats what else I was going to say while going back to edit my post, I have a program that actually works as a packet sniffer and what information and data is actually sent back to their servers on Java object it actually creates... Basically they are just using this for statistical information. I've wrote code in .NET, ASP and Java using websphere (IBM) for our healthcare system just to track what clients we actually receive responses, insurance claims and plus how many browse, whose browsing, hits, etc once the cookie gathers info from the client machine for statistical reporting. I'm sure that they could do the same... (now temporarily or not is the question, if they shut this off/on, prolly at the beginning of the beta testing phase perhaps)

I just tried it. This ^^^^ is fast.

That is no doubt, can't wait to see final revisions!!!

There is a reported vulnerability:

[RoboDad]

Yep, I read about that yesterday. I'm sure there will be more to come. Hopefully they will be fixed quickly.

Does anyone know how to save or whatever the font on the page so it stays the same size instead of every time i come to the page i gotta resize it to my liking? In FF it was just always the same.

 

[Mesa]

So I'm really digging Chrome, but I have a few issues that I hope can be resolved through the settings:

• How do you add multiple tabs that always open upon starting Google Chrome?
• Is there any other way to get to your saved bookmarks other than opening a "+" tab and then selecting your saved bookmarks?
• similar to above question, how the hell do I get to the bookmarks info from an existing tab?
• I couldn't print a USPS shipping label using Chrome, it printed the page out like a webpage. Print fine from FF. Said something about enabling javascript, couldn't find that option, where is it?

Any help and advice would be appreciated.


Edit: also, anyway to auto refresh tabs like you can in FF?

 

[BuffyGirl]

I have been using it for a while now too, and I love it.

I can't help any of Mesa's questions though, so someone get on that.
