I don't use the Google Chrome browser because I strongly object to the amount and type of information that it continuously sends back to Google. I have been surprised that there has been very little discussion of this, and even less objection to it. Now, I wonder how much and what kind of information the Chrome OS will be sending to Google? The potential is certainly there, and it is likely that Google has learned from the general acceptance of the Chrome Browser activities that people either don't notice, don't care, or otherwise won't object to being monitored.
