i'm still weary as to how they're handling personal data. is it all going to be accumulated under the 30+ year holding period they hold all their search records towards? has anyone checked the chrome browser's privacy policy? ever since i found out that google harvests all data that they can gather i just can't trust them blind anymore.

In addition, some Google Chrome features send limited additional information to Google:

* When you type URLs or queries in the address bar, the letters you type are sent to Google

Sites that you visit using Google Chrome will automatically receive standard log information similar to that received by Google.
i know it's nothing different than firefox, but it's just another way to have non computer minded people to send their personal information to google for it's adsense services.
tl;dr: more "directed" advertising.
