It's all about what you as a person prefer. Me personly, i love google chrome. But let's not get it twisted. I just recently went out and bought an Dell Inspiron 1545. And google chrome works like a charm. But a couple of months ago i was running google chrome on an gateway computer i've had for at least 10 yrs. It was a terrible ride. Lots of crashes, super duper slow. And i really got tired of the message, "aw snap" popping up. But since i've had dis newer, much faster Laptop, google chrome runs faster dan i probaly can think. To sum it all up, maybe if ur computer is running google chrome slow, it's proly not the browser, maybe it's ur computer...(Google Chrome--4 thumbs up) Well,i been reading all the comments on this page and have come to this conclusion.

However, I gave proof of what the omnibox is, instead of just giving an opinion. I never said that other browsers do it, I said other SEARCH ENGINES do it, except they do it on their main site, instead of in the browser. It simply sends your searches to google so they can return search suggestions. Big deal. Go on any search engine, like yahoo, and it will do the same. I'm happy google made it easier by putting it in chrome. If thats your definition of a key logger, than either they arent as bad as they seem, or you should get off of the internet, because every site you go on is a "keylogger".

Omnibox is a keylogger in the sense that it does intercept keystrokes and records them. You can turn it off and it only works in Chrome. Nevertheless, it IS a keylogger. Chrome also has a unique ID for every installation. It is found by going to Chrome> User Data> Local State 'user experience metrics' 'client id'. To Eric-Dillian, I suggest doing 5 minutes of research before responding to something.

It is true that Google does, (anonymously) send a packet of your search in the omnibox, but this is only in order to give you search suggestions. (I figured rthis out by accident when messing with the about:network page and making a search) In fact, every major search engine already does this on their homepage, Google just decided to add it to their browser. In any case, it doesn't matter, because you can disable by going to the The Wrench>Options>Under the Hood> then uncheck "Use a suggestion service..." but I don't know why you would do that, because it is very useful. As for the ID number, he is probably lying because of the ambiguity of the statement. Yes, what Eric (the other Eric) is saying is almost wholly incorrect.

None of the major sites/reviewers have noted anything about this imagined feature in Chrome. His silence should be taken as a retraction of his statement. He's either in the employ of another browser or just plain nuts. I've been using Chrome for about a month now, and it's superior to all the other browsers I've tried, especially as I'm currently based in Thailand, where even fast connections aren't as fast as I'm used to. Don't let his unsupported and unpunctuated comments dissuade you from getting an excellent and fast browser/ The guy’s a crackpot.

It seemed to work a bit faster but the key logger is a bit worrying. Someone please prove this. Just your word doesn't mean it's correct. Actually, I was thinking about downloading Chrome.

I agree, Eric’s comments have made me think twice too. The key logger comments are particularly worrying. Eric, do you have any links to back up your comments?
