Google makes it really difficult for me to to keep thinking of them as the new evil empire when they release things like Google Chrome, and say things like “we need the internet to be a fair, smart, safe place.”

A browser with a “privacy mode” where “nothing that ever occurs in that window is ever logged onto your computer?” Where do I sign up? I’m ready to throw away my separate Firefox profile just for guests and browsing XSS-vulnerable sites like MySpace.

One question: do Firefox employees still get to ride the Google bus to work for free? I hope so.
