One of the above statements may or may not be true - but probably not.
I did never installed Chrome because there was quite a lot of talk about it's undocumented 'features' which seem to give quite lot of data to Google, also there was something to do with copyrights as if I would make some invention and using Chrome + Gmail to send details to patent office, Google would gain rights to that invention or something along those lines.
Google's mission is to collect all data in world, remember that Google car spying networks incident? Was no accident me thinks.
Google is just something to be careful about, they indeed are making quite good process of spying everything, imo.
Surely this is for 'data you give google' and 'the services', meaning google docs, photo uploads, blogging etc. How could browser spying be termed as *giving* google something.
That's not to say they are not spying on you more so than using their search engine. This is the problem with free stuff, you are now a free supplier to them consuming their customers products.
Firefox FTW lol (although in saying that they probably have some small print somewhere saying they can do the same) as mentioned above then, does their search engine have the same rights as the browser i.e. using google search engine in firefox?
