Thread: Google Chrome

i like it its pretty quick
a lot of Firefox lovers aren't too happy there's something new coming out to compete with it but oh well lol

Does it use a lot of memory?(or other resources)

no, surprisingly it is very efficient. It even has a fully loaded task manager so you can see stats, etc.

I really think this will have a future, I haven't ran into a page that it doesn't support.

I'd much rather not have Google collect even more information from me, and not have it autocomplete everything I type into the browser so it can target even more stupid and annoying ads on me. They are really only doing this so they can target ads much more efficiently to people. After all, they are a corporation, and corporations go for money on (almost) everything they do.

Someone is insanely paranoid about that. Not sure if you know it or not but they are doing all of that right now. Our site is crawled all day so they can deliver advertisements that are on topics with each page.

Google only collects anonymous statistics. Of course a lot of it is driven by ad revenue, they still care much for privacy and fairness unlike some other companies out there.

And finally, you should know this but unlike most corperations, not every product Google creates is for profit. They are here to make the world better and fund tons of projects for further mankind. Their applications like google mail has no profit, google calendar, etc. Google search is profitable becausw of the ads and sponsored results, but they do that to move forward, pay their employees, etc.

Oh man my thumbs are killing me, thanks PWC Mobile. Anywho, I just want to let you know that google isn't out to get personal information ever, unless it is needed for signing up for their programs like gmail, adsense. Targeted ads are better than shot in the dark ads.

Edit: just another fun note, google ads use an anonymous algorythm to show ads based on keywords it finds about the page. At this moment in time they do not go any futher than that.
