The danger comes from one of Chrome's niftiest features, what it calls the Omnibox. The Omnibox is, in fact, the browser's Address Bar, but it has a feature that looks at what you type, and then auto-suggests sites that it thinks you're about to enter. As you type, the suggestions appear.
As you type, your text is sent back to Google, which analyzes it and makes the auto-suggestions. That's why you don't even need to press Enter for the text to head to Google.
Making matters worse is that Google has already said it will store approximately two percent of the information it gets this way, including the IP address of the computer.

This scares me
and that's why I won't tryout Chrome

Why no one mention about googleupdate.exe that came with this crap? I can't even kill it as it show up again and again in task manager.And where the hell that thanks button goes now? i'd like to thank fuuss for his/her information. i would definitely never install this crap ever again.

i like how fast it is but ... this keylogger thing i really dont like it.. well the source code is open. and that should calm down people but the truth is that you just dont know what they are going to do with the info they get from you

I'm a bit Concerned too about the fact that google "MAY" collect data from user's browsing.To be honest i think google guy will use these data more for their main interest..so Advertising campaign etc...
For example knowing the most used keywords a user type in may let them better understand how to tweak their adwords platform.Creating a browser that will collect data for free wasn't a bad move if we think in that way.Apart from this (which is important) to me Chrome is very good, light, ultra fast and intuitive.
CheeeeeeeeeeeerS

Fast, light and intuitive.
Apart from this, most browser collect info in a way or another.
What i think is that chrome would use that for their main target, which is afterall advertising campaign.Loggin keywords etc from millions of users for free just giving them a browser is a great think
