I advise no one to use Google Chrome until the EULA is adjusted.  Below is a writing from the EULA from Google's Chrome and why if you are working with any Intellectual Property you would be in trouble if you used this new browser.  All in all Google is trying to be a bunch of crooks.  They say its no big deal but image that you are having a sexy conversation significant other and all of a sudden you see a movie with your exact conversation and pictures played out in sexy chat room seen.  Or you invent some awesome invention that solves some huh world issue and Google takes the credit and does not pay you a dime because they have the IP rights over your material just because it passed through their Chrome browser.  I will not use this browser unless they change these clauses in their EULA even if the software it's is cool.

I now present the load of crap!

That's a great point... Google is claiming that the EULA is an error - that they don't really claim ownership over all content submitted through the browser (can you imagine?? your blog posts, your reviews, your tweets....).
