Comments on: Google Chrome: why you almost shouldn’t use it http://webgrrrl.net/archives/google-chrome-why-you-almost-shouldnt-use-it.htm I blog for the same reason I breathe -- because if I didn't, I would die. - Isaac Asimov + me@webgrrrl.net Mon, 23 Jan 2012 04:38:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jeremy http://webgrrrl.net/archives/google-chrome-why-you-almost-shouldnt-use-it.htm/comment-page-1#comment-8589 Jeremy Thu, 13 Nov 2008 04:36:52 +0000 http://webgrrrl.net/archives/google-chrome-why-you-almost-shouldnt-use-it.htm#comment-8589 I was the first person I know to use Chrome, but after 3 days or so I read a post on a forum I frequent mentioning the same thing you brought up here and immediately uninstalled it. I realize the breadth of the EULA is likely to cover Google's ass more than anything else, but the fact that they would put that in there is simply astounding. As amazing as google is, they are equally scary if not moreso, it makes me question my Gmail account.

There is no need to take a risk when there are other browsers that would serve the needs. Firefox has built up a reputation of reliability and security over time.

If Google does mean what it meant by not wanting to own our content, why not just remove that particular statement altogether like what it did recently with Chrome? Or just cut and paste the exact same statement as what they've said in the Help Center? Those "legal statements" that they insist on using in this instance is giving too much leeway to other interpretations, including in its literal sense. We would expect Google to do something better and dignified than going with this standard statement. Thanks for the link, Michael.

I very quickly found this from Google: http://tinyurl.com/6nfoec Many blogs and websites contain the "legal concern" of Google's TOS. Yet very few disclose that in the above link, Goggle addressed those concerns. Do I agree with you or google...? Doesn't matter. The question is, will blog readers be given the opportunity to make up their own minds after hearing both sides of the issue? I was recently made aware of this and decided to check it out.
