Google Chrome web browser

[m^2]

If you are concerned about privacy then you should not use the internet, it's as simple as that. Every single search engine stores some search data. From a privacy point of view, Chrome is just as bad as FF, IE and Safari.

1. It's far less information. Google knows my searches on their site. Not whole browsing history.
2. With other browsers I decide which search engine gets the information.
3. As rge's, my approach is also - give them the least that's practical.

Then something else, Chrome is, just like FireFox, open source so anyone can look at the source code and check what it does.

I've heard somewhere else that not really, however not from very reliable source and I don't know what to think.
Do you know of anybody who succeeded with compilation and compared the results to these from google?
Also, with Chrome comes Google Update, which AFAIK is not open source.
