    Chrome going to log your keystrokes.

    Chrome is a recently added web browser for IT world. Most of the people are aware of it.

    But some of the features that Chrome has are new to us. I have got to know that it has an interesting feature to suggest the keywords and URLs for you. You can enable this feature in chrome as you want.

    This feature does more than just help the user about what they searching for, it’s going to store the information typed on the search bar in Google database. That means Google has an access to any keystrokes you types into the browser. Another thing is these data goes to the Google even before user hit on the Enter key.

    The problem is what the Google going to do with this information. They said they going to use this information to improve their search and to make web search even better. But how can we guarantee this???

    Let’s say you typed your credit card number on Chrome, as a back ground process it will store it in Google. So this will lead to open a gate to your confidential details to out side world. No one will ever like for that.

    There is a way to avoid this. Make the auto-suggestions feature off and make sure not to make Chrome as your default browser.

    Any way Chrome will be headache for Microsoft Internet Explore and others. So we would like to see it as a secure place for us.
