Is it just me or is the fact that Chrome works outside of “Program Files” a HUGE security flaw? (Check my link to my blog)

Cheers,

I noticed that googleupdate.exe thing too. I removed it from HKLM…Run and it hasn’t been back since.

Installs googleupdate.exe and doesn’t delete it if you uninstall, also keeps running it when you kill it. WTH.

Speed is not really a defining issue for browsers anymore. There is only one defining issue nowadays: SECURITY.

well besides all the security issues how about the privacy issues.
is google going to collect data on the websites you visit and create a big database on it???

For me, that’s the biggest reason for using different browsers. Malware forced me to format my hard drive recently. The good news is that this is a beta version and hopefully Google will be able to resolve this issue by the time 1.0 is released.

i’m willing to try it out just to see if it works more efficiently than FireFox… if it’s faster than Firefox and isn’t IE, then i’ll use it

chrome also apparently includes a clause in it’s EULA which gives google the right to use any copyrighted material you upload through it for whatever they want, there’s an article on the register about it here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/03/google_chrome_eula_sucks/ . needless to say, i think i’ll stick with firefox.
