Review 2008

Pe data de 3 septembrie 2008, a fost lansata versiunea beta a primului browser web de la Google: Chrome.

Intr-o piata deja saturata de browsere, initiativa Google este intr-o oarecare masura inutila ... DAR ... in numai 48 de ore de la lansarea versiunii beta Google Chrome, aproximativ 14 milioane de utilizatori l-au download-at si folosit. Acest fapt se traduce printr-un procent de 1% castigat de Google pe piata browser-elor web.

Pana aici toate bune si frumoase, insa nu trebuie sa uitam ca Google Toolbar nu a fost altceva decat un cal troian prin care Google receptiona toate site-urile vizionate de utilizatori, date personale, comentarii, etc. In imposibilitate de a penetra anumite retele sociale (gen MySpace) pentru interceptarea de date personale, Google a creat acest nou browser.

Concluzia: Google Chrome = adio intimitate!!!

As first noted by CNET News on Tuesday, Chrome's End User License agreement appeared to give Google a perpetual right to use anything one entered into the browser. Section 11 stated that although users retain copyright to their works, "by submitting, posting or displaying the content you 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 on or through, the Services."
