Announcing support for Google's new browser Chrome

[link] 3. September 2008

About 24 hours ago, Google made a beta version of their own browser, Chrome, available to the public.

From a privacy standpoint, we neither like to see GoogleUpdate permanently in the background nor those anonymous usage statistics it wants to send home, but since it's open source, we're hoping for free cleaned-up clones.

From a security standpoint, the idea of restricting rights of browsing processes is something we hope to see spreading to other browsers as well, since we fully have to agree with this precaution (see for example Alter Ego).

But the reason to write a news article about it today is not for adding our opinion on Chrome to the mass of other opinions already out there, but to announce support for Chrome in Spybot - Search & Destroy. As soon as Chrome was available, we started digging into it and have now finished support for scanning and cleaning Chrome cookies, bookmarks and history (thanks to the similarity to Firefox, that was actually no big deal). Immunization is pending and depends on Chrome's capabilities for that. You can subscribe to the Chrome support feature request or watch our beta forum if you are interested in the progress.

Testimonial
TechTV: If you're tired of hearing me recommend this free file, too bad. It works. Spybot -- Search & Destroy effectively detects spyware, adware, key loggers, Internet dialers, browser hijackers, and even some trojans. Are you getting charged $200 a month for phone calls to the Cayman Islands? Get this free file. Do you have to reset your homepage every time you open Internet Explorer. Download this free file. Do you.... You get the picture..
