There seems to be a distinction between Chrome and the open source project that Chrome is based on - Chromium.

Chromium - Google Code

Index of /buildbot/snapshots

I think the EULA only applies to Chrome:

Google Chrome for Windows - Terms and Conditions Agreement

I'm not a lawyer, but it looks like 11.1 is what google needs to index and archive web pages. I don't think you give up any rights to the content. Also, if there is something that shouldn't be "out there" google seems willing, at least in the past, to take it down.

I checked "no" when asked if Chrome could send info to google. That probably didn't mean much, but did it anyway.

One thing I do like about it is that each Tab/Window is in a separate "environment" I guess you can say. When tab slows down the others don't and that if a pages causes a crash... only the tab/windows closes and not the entire thing.

At least that's what Google says...

Also, the autocomplete URL thing is nice

Typing this using Chrome right now btw

Might be interesting as a web application platform when combined with an instant-on Linux like Splashtop.

See Splashtop and Google Chrome is the Future

Google answer about EULA section 11 :

Quote:
"In order to keep things simple for our users, we try to use the same set of legal terms (our Universal Terms of Service) for many of our products. Sometimes, as in the case of Google Chrome, this means that the legal terms for a specific product may include terms that don't apply well to the use of that product. We are working quickly to remove language from Section 11 of the current Google Chrome terms of service. This change will apply retroactively to all users who have downloaded Google Chrome."
