Cause a lot of clueless fucks to write bullshit on their blogs, and spam

The Web designers are saying: "Oh no! Not another browser to test my page
designs in!"

THE EULA says: If you look at your own site with the browser, you assign
the copyright to Google, to use it as Google sees fit."!

No thanks. Google has already made my site repeatedly unusable and put my
host out of business with its aggressive archiving tactics. I had to
exclude Google with my robots.txt. My attitude to Google is like Jamie
Zawinski's attitude to Microsoft, and for the same reasons.

I won't have a bar of it.

There has been some talk of it in discussion forums like Whirlpool.

Particularly about extra HDD activity after Chrome has been installed and
that firewall logs have shown that Chrome is prefetching web page links by
actually going to linked pages and setting cookies for them.

I would be very wary of installing a web browser that was produced by the
world's largest search engine .
