Google chrome seems to be the most interesting topic nowadays. This is the 4th post about Google chrome on this blog after this and that. I haven’t been aware of the new Google Chrome ’s Term of Service at all after I read this article which clearly highlights the evil side of Google Chrome ’s Term of Service. I’m not trying to insist you to uninstall your Google Chrome browser but I’d like to bring you some facts of the Google Chrome ’s Term of Service.

Well, please take your time to read the Google Chrome ’s browser in details :

• The Terms of Service apply to Chrome: “These Terms of Service apply to the executable code version of Google Chrome.” (TOS preface, line 1)

• Children can’t use Chrome: You must be “of legal age to form a binding contract with Google.” (TOS ¶2.3)

• Google can cap your usage of Chrome: “[F]ixed upper limits [on the number of transmissions you may send or receive through the Services may be set by Google at any time, at Google’s discretion.” (TOS ¶4.5)

• You might need to register Chrome: “[Y]ou may be required to provide information about yourself (such as identification or contact details) as part of the registration process for the Service, or as part of your continued use of the Services. (TOS ¶5.1)

• You might need Chrome to use other Google Services: “You agree not to access (or attempt to access) any of the Services by any means other than through the interface that is provided by Google, unless you have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate agreement with Google.” (TOS ¶5.3)

• Chrome is not open source software. “You acknowledge and agree that Google (or Google’s licensors) own all legal right, title and interest in and to the Services, including any intellectual property rights which subsist in the Services (whether those rights happen to be registered or not, and wherever in the world those rights may exist). You further acknowledge that the Services may contain information which is designated confidential by Google and that you shall not disclose such information without Google’s prior written consent. (TOS ¶9.1)

• You give Google a copyright license on content you display in Chrome: “By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.” (TOS ¶11.1. See also TOS ¶11.2 and 11.3)

And even content you don’t own: “You confirm and warrant to Google that you have all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the above licence.” (TOS ¶11.4)

• Updating Chrome is mandatory: “[U]pdates are designed to improve, enhance and further develop the Services and may take the form of bug fixes, enhanced functions, new software modules and completely new versions. You agree to receive such updates (and permit Google to deliver these to you) as part of your use of the Services.” (TOS ¶12.1)

According to the Google Chrome Privacy Notice:

Your copy of Google Chrome includes one or more unique application numbers. These numbers and information about your installation of the browser (e.g., version number, language) will be sent to Google when you first install and use it and when Google Chrome automatically checks for updates. [Emphsis added.]

Note: If Google can update your software at will and has it’s ID number, it undoubtedly can associate the ID number with your Google account (allowed by TOS ¶5.1) and, within the TOS, delete Chrome from your machine.

• Google may install advertisements in Chrome: “In consideration for Google granting you access to and use of the Services, you agree that Google may place such advertising on the Services.” (TOS ¶12.1)

I hope you’d consider those things above , and decide what you wish to do.
