This claim:
"Then there's Google Chrome that sends every URL you visit to Google "for malware protection""
Seems to be directly contradicted by: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/privacy/ https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/privacy/ , scroll to "Information Google receives when you use the Safe Browsing feature on Chrome or other browsers"
- schtinky 13y agoI was wondering about this myself. I've been developing a Chrome extension off/on for the past year and did moderate reading into Chrome, Chromium and how user data is handled. Seemed ok to me. Wireshark doesn't show anything particularly alarming, either. Can anyone else confirm/deny?
