I must have missed something, how would running the Chrome browser collect our valuable data? Obviously, keying in data into a search engine to find things is giving the search engine data on what people are searching for. Is there any requirement to do this if your running Chrome? And, how else would you find something? I think I'm missing something here in this argument.
