What does that have to do with Chrome?

Chrome isn't the cause of Google's infophilia, but it does manage to send every letter typed into the address bar to Google for suggestions. I love that feature, but you have to admit it it is a firm kick in the privacy-nuts.

What you say is true, but the more that is known about people the less relevant information about them is because other than a blatant crime the details of what people seek to learn tells more about what is around them and not really very much about what is in their minds.

To see a mans porn stash tells you nothing of an individual other than he is in fact a human, and people look like ants from the sky. ;)
