"11.4 You confirm and warrant to Google that you have all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the above license.
"

Lines like this just prove why EULAs are useless, and there for no real reason.

A EULA has never been upheld in court anyways.

Again, I don't understand the point.

Chrome displays data. It displays data that it did not create. This is what web browsers do. Google collects data about what users watch, view, interact with and use that information to better enhance their services. That is what the company is all about. I'm not sure I understand the point of pointing out the weird legal language in the Eula.


It isn't talking about the data being presented.

In it's current state the EULA is saying that anything -you- upload or post using the browser, you're giving them the rights to it.

And it's not just weird jargon, every word in any EULA is thought about before being written. It has a purpose.

But, as appears to be the case here, every word in a EULA isn't thought about in reference to the product it exists for. wink.gif Teehee.

No, for bigger companies EULA's are mass produced. But they're still important, and if no one had read it and caught it, it wouldn't have been changed. smile.gif

They are mass produced for some small companies too.

Google Chrome is more vulnerable than Firefox. See carpet bombing flaw, so much for their much touted sandboxing.

But I... I love my Mozilla Firefox and I just updated it. It blocks ads and everything for me. sad.gif

Don't worry, Firefox is still better.


Btw, who do you think funds Firefox? Ummm... yea, mostly Google.

I'm testing out Google Chrome now... I think I will stick with Firefox despite Chrome's ridiculous speed. Chrome has no stop button, themes, and no adblock... unless I'm missing how to download the apps and all... eh.

And where the eff is my button to view my bookmarks!! scream.gif

Firefox is ever slightly slower at compiling Java script then Chrome. Well, actually, when 3.1 is released shortly with the new Spidermonkey Java Script compiler, it'll be faster with Java script.

New products will always have issues on release (especially for a beta release). That does not necessarily mean it's a bad product, but it does mean that hopping onto the New Fad isn't always a great idea unless you're just trying it out to see how it compares. I would hope that there's a lot more functionality on the way for Chrome-- it's seeming more like this is a stability / stress test of the underlying mechanics so far.
Aison2008-09-04 00:27:37
I'm getting accustomed to it. But they really need to get something like adblock for it.

Yes it does. It's to the right of the address bar (or omnibar, if you're getting sucked in by their marketing). When you're not downloading a page, it's a go arrow, when you are, it's a stop cross.

Opera is still king o.o

You can also press escape to stop loading a page!

Yes, Firefox is still the way to go, and probably will be for quite some time. Maybe forever!

It's just cool that company made and released a new open source browser, and they are doing some new cool things with it.

They've completely suckered me with the user-friendliness and crazy speed. Where are you having problems with popups, Aison? Haven't seen one yet.

The only problem I've found so far is a weird, sporadic pausing on Flash games. Nothing big, just weird.

I've also not once been troubled by ads, and I've used it since it was release!

Looks like they removed the ownership clause from the EULA, saying that it was 'a mistake' copied over from another one of their EULA's. That was quick.
