As we all know, Google Chrome has been launched last Tuesday and I am one of those who downloaded and installed the software after the launch.  After reviewing the EULA which states that users apparently grant Google the rights to anything they publish and create while using Chrome, I must admit that I had to think twice and decided to set aside the new browser and stick with Firefox.  However, today’s news states that Google has updated the controversial end user license agreement of Chrome.

As an IT personnel, I am still a bit hesitant to use Chrome again, not unless the the reported security flaws of the software have been addressed by Google. Since Chrome is based on the WebKit rendering engine, there are numerous reports that it has inherited  a potentially serious security flaw from the old version of the WebKit. Chrome has also been found to be vulnerable to the “Safari Carpet Bombing Flaw”, which means a malicious code can be executed on the victim’s computer. I hope that Google will have an immediate patch on the reported security flaws so that people, especially in the IT industry will use their new Internet browser.
