So i was opening a new tab and i accidentally clicked the *show most visited* button so i thought "Heck i'll just click the josefVstalin wepsite and be done with it." until i realized Google chrome had taken a picture of my browser where it shows i have scrolled my mouse over *Alerts*and the different things it says. I know its nothing special since there is nothing really personal on the photo, but it still creeps me the fuck out that the browser itself takes pictures of the stuff i visit online. And inb4 jokes about pornsites, it's not because i don't want anyone to find out about the stuff i visit, we all know google chrome uses Spyware, mostly for security, but it still creeps me out, it's the same concept with cameras on every city corner: "I haven't done anything wrong, so i would like some privacy." I wan't some damn privacy, it's like my freaking mom is back looking over my shoulder to make sure i do my homework or something.
You got that right. At least you don't live in America though. Oh, and just to go all Kali/grammar prick on you - the apostrophe in the thread title means you're saying 'Google Chrome and it is spyware', which is funny 'cos that is actually sort of true.
Cookies and thumbnails like this are nothing compared to the information that's sold by companies like Google and Facebook to advertisers.
They've done a quick little research. If everyone would want to use Google without them making any money out of selling details or advertisements, we would all have to pay an average of $100,- a year.
Google Chrome is spying on what I write. What the fuck ever, doesn't concern me the slightest. I reveal nothing of my plans or myself on the internet, ever. Nothing seriously personal, I mean.
I know, i feel the same way. But its the whole concept of someone watching what you're doing, like someone looking over you're shoulder.
But these aren't miniature people in your computer, these are just robots. All they do is gather anonymous statistics. Unless the statistic would be "percentage of people with secret plan to destroy the world", your plans are safe. Fixed.
It's okay, you don't capitalise the i in 'i'm'. Not sure why, seeing as it's 'I am', but there you go. Stupid language.
This one's only partially valid, but it's spelled "capitalise". The fact that I used a British spelling to correct an American one makes me more of a prick than both of you. A truly hollow achievement.
Well we don't in my country. Capitalise 'i'm' I mean. We consort with The Shaw all the time. lol. Are we really taking this that seriously?
