And who said Google WAS NOT Evil ?
OK, I see. Yeah, definitely Adobe should fix its Flash player, but a more robust browser certainly won't do any harm. What's more, there's no way to force people to update their Flash players.
I don't think Chrome can fix problems *inside* the Flash player, though; what it can do is prevent the entire browser from crashing if the plugin crashes. Which is not a bad thing IMO -- Flash has become pretty much ubiquitous, and we get lots of sometimes badly-made Flash advertising content on our browsers whether we want it or not.
There is many reason for google to start its own browser. Especially because what MS put in IE8 namley privacy options. Turn on the privacy function and google cannot collect info to supply you with custom ads anymore. This function is also called the "porn" function. Not only this but having your own browser gives a lot of both economical and competetive advantages. MS can make sure their .NET , silverlight or whatever else works the greatest and availiable immidietely on IE and still many people use IE so it promotes their other technology. Google can do the same for all of their technology, not to mention mobile.
The privacy function does nothing new. It just means that what you do isn't saved in your browsing history. It has no impact on Google's ability to serve ads, other than blocking cookies, which you have been able to do anyway for a long time.There is many reason for google to start its own browser.

That's still fine-tuning, and I'm sure it gives them a competitive advantage. But: most people won't be using privacy mode, and it won't stop Google serving pretty well targeted ads even to people who won't. The ad selection is still primarily based on context rather than history.
Well Chrome is logging every website you visit and sending the info to google, so they can tailor even better advertisement for you.
When you download Google Chrome or use it to contact Google’s servers, Google receives only standard log information including your machine’s IP address and one or more cookies. You can configure Google Chrome to not send cookies to Google or other sites as explained here.
*without* identifying information
You think your IP and "one or more" cookies is not enough? to identify you?
That is what they do connect the ad info to your Machine, not you as a person, that would violate all privacy policy acts.
Google are smart enough not to write your informaton is sent to google so we can provide better ads for you.
But as you notice the IP is sent, cookies are sent ( unless you disable it ) and google is allowed to store the info.
Meaning they have all the rights to and do use it to serve you ads.
Some of the services are supported by advertising revenue and may display advertisements and promotions. These advertisements may be targeted to the content of information stored on the services, queries made through the services or other information.
The manner, mode and extent of advertising by Google on the services are subject to change without specific notice to you."
Well, I sometimes have to step a thin line PJ, I keep providing you guys with public information from the internet as I am allowed to do, from this you have to make your own conclusions. On the other hand I also know much information which I am not allowed to reveal, as you know companies has contracts that you sign where you promise to keep certain things secret.
But I think it is obvious enough for everyone to pay some attention to see what is going on. I'll give you another one:
Come on, GG -- this has doodle-squat to do with Chrome, and I'm sure you know it. We all know that Google's business is delivering targeted advertising at users.
If you're under NDA from Google, or a Google partner, I'm fairly certain you're already in violation of it. In fact, every NDA I've seen even expressly forbids the signatories from disclosing that there *is* an NDA.
