Stay Away from Chrome if You Value Your Privacy

Posted in All Posts, Exploits, Online Security, Related, Security Tools on September 21st, 2008

Goggle has developed a new web browser called Chrome. We advise anyone who values their privacy to stay away from this browser. A look at the licensing agreement tells it all:

“[Y]ou give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display,”

Say what?

That’s right “Your browsing are belong to us”

Unfortunately, someday, somehow, someway, somebody may get a hold of your browsing history and your search history, possibly including “unique identifier” and IP address and exact time of the search.  Not good.

And Google is not alone in this,  as most search engines do the same. 

We recommend ixquick.com. The web search engine that respects YOUR privacy.

(awarded the European Privacy Seal)

Extra added bonus!  ixquick also provides access via secure server, so mot only do they not store your search queries, you can encrypt the connection with SSL.

http://ixquick.com  or

https://ixquick.com (SSL encrypted link)

And hey, it also works very well.  Quality seach results.
