German Government Against Chrome?
I found it interesting that a few days after I wrote about my experience with Google’s new web browser, Chrome, the German government told its citizens not to use it. According to the article, German government feels that through “email and search, Chrome gives Google too much information about users…and that it should be avoided because it is still in beta.”
A little extreme? I think so. The author of this article believes the real reason behind Germany discouraging citizens using Chrome is because “it’s a big American company that’s so popular it seems like a monopoly.” Who knows if this is true or not, but I think it’s a little ridiculous that Germany’s government would tell its people to not use Chrome.
