Chrome – Pointless leecher?
September 3rd, 2008
I think you already read enough about the new Google Browser somewhere else. So additionally, these are just my two cents:
As you may know, I’m sometimes limited to an ISDN internet connection (64kbit/s). This is why I just cannot use chrome because it downloads (or uploads) permanently. I’ve been running it for about two hours now and there still nothing changed. It also shows network usage “Not available” for the browser component.
I somewhat expected that a google browser would transfer various (…) data in the background, but this is tough ;-). No idea what data is transfered here – currently the problem is that data is transfered so that my internet connection is unusable.

Is Google really evil? Yes!
Die “nützlichen” Informationen, die ein neuer Tab anzeigt, liegen allem anschein nach auf einem Google Server und sind nicht unbedingt nur lokal gespeichert (bei meinen Tests hat mir Wireshark jedes mal beim Öffnen eines leeren Tabs viele Aufrufe eines Google Servers gezeigt [static.cache.l.google.com = 74.125.97.81] )

Jeder Chrome Browser hat eine eindeutige Identifikationsnummer.
