Apparently Google Chrome includes software_reporter_tool.exe, which scans your entire hard disk for executables to analyze and it reports the results to Google

@hansup this is a big problem to. Alot of people (like Facebook users) know it's garbage by they still use it anyway because they can't be bothered.
@Wetrix That's true and understandable, but I also see a lot of people that should know better and are just too stubborn and lazy to change their ways. Not to speak of those that develop only for Chrome and get all excited over the next stupid candy feature that already is only available in Chrome. Blind tech junkies fed by the evil dealer.
If browsers were cars, Chrome would be an ugly Hummer.
