Google Launches New Web Browser "Chrome"

[Marswolf]

I don't think any of the spyware/virus checkers could detect these problems. Personally, I think the whole Chrome application should be detected and shut down. They force the Google cookie on you, even if you tell it not to. It phones home with your ID. You can't kill JavaScript, so who knows what is being sent there from any given page.

Its advantages are that it is fast and crashing one tab doesn't lock up the whole browser. But the speed advantage disappears in Firefox 3.1. Since Chrome is open source, Firefox should be able to add any of Chrome's feature pretty rapidly.
