Wow, does Google Chrome really do this?

Two posts in one day . . . I know!

Anyone who has read here knows that I favor Internet Explorer, for several very concrete reasons that have nothing to do with “modern” or “cool” or “everyone does” or “Microsoft’s stupid” or . . . You get the idea.

Recent security analysis of the operational aspects of Chrome made me feel a little better about it – even causing me to consider making it my “number two” browser (see the prior post about this). This, however, really worries me:

I shall have to dig a bit deeper, but if this is going on, it’s reasonable to generalize that stuff like this is also going on, and that worries me. A great deal!

Browse safely, everyone.
