Ok so why would one use a browser made by Big Evil Privacy-hating Spy Firm #1 and then install an extension to prevent logging by Big Evil Privacy-hating Spy Firm #2?
I'd be very amazed if Chrome would not, now or at some point in the (transparently and unstoppably auto-updated) future, keep track of what you're doing, too.
If Google really did that with Chrome you would either A) know about it already, or B) find out later when someone discovers the secret logging mechanism.
Scenario B is so potentially devastating to Google that I highly doubt they would implement something like that.
Why would somebody write comments dissing Microsoft in Internet Explorer? Why would someone write an anti-Microsoft message in Word? Why would someone ask such arcane questions.
We trust the tools from Google, since it would be a huge backlash if they were caught doing something so nefarious as using Chrome to track people, without them knowing. And it is quite possible to test this.
I'd be very amazed if Chrome would not, now or at some point in the (transparently and unstoppably auto-updated) future, keep track of what you're doing, too.
If you'd like to put some money down, I'd take the other end of that bet.
