Chome removed most of the personal stuff, the only thing left is the ping they send on install, all the other stuff is opt-out and is easy to find. Then you can install all the cookie opt-out/https everywhere/other things if you like. But you still get Google Updater and things like that.
/me shrugs. I've been using SRware Iron, it actually runs better than Chrome on my computer and everything works. If I don't have alot of tabs open, I use Iron, if I am going to be doing a ton research and what not, I use firefox, and what not (paorama works way better than opera for tab management at least for me).
