aka, Chrome isn't going to see this laptop's HDD. Nooohooo way....
If those articles are even remotely right, then Chrome is one big spyware program.

My initial thoughts were "they come way too late to the 'browser war', unless there is something very special about it..."
And I guess the current security issues aren't going to be helping either. Neither are all the tracking stuff build in in Chrome.
Looks do not say anything, they are the last thing I worry about. But apparently this isn't so with many people...
When MS (or let's say Plus!?) send some anonymous data back home to see what language has been installed or what feature is used the most then everybody cries out. When this Chrome sends IDs
unique to you, snapshots of the pages you visit, the keystrokes you type in the search bar, etc back home, nobody says a thing... because 'it looks good'?
Sorry, one word for it: dustbin (for now)...
ok, that were 3 words
