Getting ease of use for loss of privacy is no fare trade. It almost seems the same as trading liberty for security. Both, in the end you get neither.

I set up Chrome to launch in "incognito" mode and also disabled logging, metrics and metrics-reporting. But I have to be honest, I still did not trust that those steps would ensure that my privacy was being protected. I could not get Chrome Privacy Guard to work. The installation would crash. <strong>@Philip:</strong> <em>I agree. Chromeis simpler and thus easier...but convenience is what Google barters for control. I run Privacy Guard but I still "know" there is data gathering underway. I don't use Chrome as my daily browser.</em> In terms of ease of use Chrome knocks the socks off IE, FireFox and most definitely Opera, so it annoys me that we’re having these privacy issues.

When you do a "Clear browsing data" action and then hit the 'back arrow' (upper left icon to go to previous pages), nothing is deleted! It clicks right through all previously visited pages. If this is not "browsing data", what is?! Where is this info being stored? Google, you need to clear this shit up! Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but…
