Originally posted by torsionbar28 View PostI'm on RHEL6 FYI. Google has stopped supporting RHEL6, so Chrome 27 is the last release for this OS. I'll continue to use it, as it works well for me. Also I'm a user not a developer, so maybe I'm doing something wrong, I don't know, but this is my experience with these browsers.

Originally posted by RahulSundaram View PostSpyware is a term typically reserved for malicious software that gathers personal information. This is a feature (or a anti feature depending on your perspective) for enabling targeted advertising and Google fixed the problem when it was reported. It is not really appropriate to call it spyware.
