It is frustating to see you call out "spy code" in the header of a slide. Features you mention on that slide, like geolocation, require the user to explicitly grant that information to the site that requests it (geolocation uses an infobar, sync you must first enable through the preferences, etc.). The malware/phishing blocking code goes to great effort to avoid sending information about the URLs you're visiting. Features like that, where there is a utility/privacy tradeoff, are clearly grouped together under a "privacy" heading in the preferences. Here's more about privacy in Chrome: http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/chrome/google-chrome-privacy-whitep= aper.pdf If you ever find any code that does something you find problematic from a privacy standpoint, I would love to hear about it.
