Secure, as far as you believe them
Excuse me if it causes a funny feeling when I see "Chrome" and "secure" being used in the same sentence.
It's not that I don't use it myself, but don't forget who made it.
In 2007, Google acquired Doubleclick, a company that was infamous for the way it spied on people's browsing habits.
And now just very recently, Google themselves were caught with their hands in OUR cookie jar: those StreetView cars did more than just take pictures, they were spying on people's wireless networks as they drove by. In other words, they were literally engaged in what is often referred to as "wardriving" - quite illegal in the country where I live, with (as precedents) a number of people already convicted to jail time and/or fines for being caught at it.
Anyone who expects a browser from such a company, and especially one that's given away for free, to do only that what it is advertized to do and nothing else, should be encouraged to look up the words "gullible" and "naivete" in a dictionary.
