BTW, the EULA was changed within 2-3 days after the first public release of the beta, just check this:

There are differences.

Google is admitting they will be assigning a unique number that identifies the individual even if that individual uses different IP addresses over time, and permanently storing the information for profit. Google is intent on making it easy to invade my privacy 20 years from now even if my IP address has changed hands many times.

And any argument that Chrome is not much worse than the status quo, my response is it is a step in the wrong direction. If consumers refuse this product, they can steer developers towards products that improve privacy, instead of those that worsen it.

And regarding not using the internet, I am less concerned with my privacy at the status quo than the naive or apathetic consumer towards those that invade it.
