Yesterday, news broke that Google has been stealth downloading audio listeners onto every computer that runs Chrome, and transmits audio data back to Google. Effectively, this means that Google had taken itself the right to listen to every conversation in every room that runs Chrome somewhere, without any kind of consent from the people eavesdropped on. In official statements, Google shrugged off the practice with what amounts to "we can do that".
MOTHERFUCKERS !!!

Best to treat all apps and software from Google as if they were a trojan horse.
Run Google Chrome in Sandboxie. It will truly limit what the browser can do.
