Google Chrome

Well, Google have launched their search engine to rival IE and FireFox ... Google Chrome... on my machine it is quick, intuitive clean in design and does some nice things in a simple way.

The bit I like best is that you just type straight into the address line and the search is done for you. I also like the 'thumb-nails' of the most visited sites and the timed full search history.There are probably loads of things that I have not looked at yet but I will carry on using it for a while to see how it compares.

But I didn't read what I was signing up to ... did you?

It appears that you might just want to take a peek at the end user bit. Gizmodo points out item 11.1 :

And it does go on !

Interesting ... does it mean what I think it means?
