great last 2 paragraphs:

It's worth noting that the EULA is largely unenforceable because the source
code of Chrome is distributed under an open license. Users could simply
download the source code, compile it themselves, and use it without having
to agree to Google's EULA. The terms of the BSD license under which the
source code is distributed are highly permissive and impose virtually no
conditions or requirements on end users.

So, there you have it: a tempest in a (chrome) teapot. Not that it's the
only one; as Ina Fried of News.com points
out<http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10031661-56.html?tag=newsLeadStoriesArea.0>,
Chrome's "Omnibar" can also access all keystrokes a user types, and Google
will store some of this information along with IP addresses.
