    Holy shit, that should be illegal. I say should because I know there’s no way that it currently is.

      Microsoft do the same with Windows and as far as I know, they haven’t got fined for it.

        To this day I don’t know what or why Google Chrome was using up all the processing power on my laptop while it was installed. As soon as I deleted Chrome, my 12gb laptop ran fine again.

        It probably wasn’t keylogging but it was probably not updating itself 24/7 either.

          You’d be surprised at how shit Chrome’s autoupdate is.
