Another reason not to use Chrome.

Can a browser’s search function work too well? After playing around with Google’s brand new Chrome browser, we’ve discovered that its history search box will fetch all types of data - even text from HTTPS-protected financial sites like Washington Mutual and Capital One. With a few utterly simple keywords like balance, account and Sept., everything from balance information, account numbers and even how much you spent at Costco can be pulled up.

TG Daily - Chrome is a security nightmare, indexes your bank accounts

"To see all of this in action, just open up Chrome and log in to your favorite (sic) financial website. Like most important sites, it should be protected with HTTPS/SSL encryption and that should be evident in the address bar of the browser. Do the stuff you would normally do like look at your balances and gawk at your latest transactions and then open up a new tab in Chrome by clicking the “+” symbol. In the right-hand history search box, enter a few keywords and see what they get you. Surprised? I bet you are. No luck? Then try something simple like oh Visa, Mastercard, balance and account. Also try out the names and abbreviations of months like September, Sept and Sep."

Edit - Getting this at the bottom of all the forum pages-
This web page is not available.

The web page at null might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
It is still a Beta so it might just be a midgie(small bug)

I tried it for an hour. It was fast but did not deal with bookmarks very well - I've gone back to FF - which I have customised to my liking.

I tried it briefly but my cpu usage shot through the roof and although it is slightly quicker than Firefox it will not tempt me away from it.
