This is going to be controversial to say the very least.


Spyware - Site reflection - browser using cookies to track ISP searches. Google at war with other browsers and Bill Gates - me? I'll stick to Opera thanks.

Google is about to revolutionise (or ize for some of you ) the internet as you and I know it - this is just the beginning. Say bye bye to satelitte TV say hello to Google TV on a TV/PC near you very soon. BBC say goodnight to fees. And say a fond farewell to Cinema's. Ten years I reckon.

Providing we get past Wednesday - has anyone been following the Worlds Stock Exchanges today?? Red Red Red

End of the World parties - Nice one France.

Why? World domination of course.

The merge threads thing is playing up - hence the change in title - could you try Jaan?? We have two identicle threads running.


Yes it's spyware - and it's just the beginning - Google TV is next - merged TV/PC's - bye bye satellite TV - bye bye BBC Licence fees, bye bye cinema's.

I cannot possibly do that. But this guy's good - especially as he agrees with me LOL
Google admits that Google Chrome tracks web addresses

But of course I could not stop you doing it

Another thing that came to my mind is Google might offer a permanent ad spot somewhere on the chrome browser just like the way adwords ads are being displayed in GMail at top. This will be a huge business gain for them as they rely on adwords income.

Wouldnt suprise me at all. It's one of the very few things that annoy me about Google, but they have to make their money somehow.

I dont want to steer the thread in the wrong direction but that nofollow crap is annoying. We have to state what are 'paid for links' on our sites and then Googe goes and sticks paid for ads above the organic results in the SERPs.

Otherwise I think all their software is very intuitive and is leading the web forward - google maps is great and their other 'google labs' products. Google Chrome will hopefully fall into the same level of greatness, its still got quite a way to go at the moment.

In terms of accessibility, there are very few shortcut keys, menus are illegible in windows high contrast mode and they seem to be using it as a spyware tool to record browser habits. So i'll not be using it instead of Firefox!
