Anyone thinking of looking at Googles new web browser should take a few close looks at some settings.

An Article here says that part of the default setting in the new browser will Provided that users leave Chrome's auto-suggest feature on and have Google as their default search provider, Google will have access to any keystrokes that are typed into the browser's Omnibox, even before a user hits enter.

Scary stuff eh.

Another article here is pretty clear that you may have better features with Firefox than Googles new browser.

If you do try out Chrome make sure you follow the advice above so your keystrokes dont get logged.

Some more articles on Chrome here and here
