Chrome Unchrome,an identity issue for end user

Google Chrome has came out as a success for Google and it has been termed as fastest growing web browser ever.It is fast,runs script very quickly,consumes very less memory and so many nice things which the blogosphere is talking about Google Chrome.Yes they all are true and i praise Google's effort of developing a web browser like chrome even though they have been supporting Mozilla Firefox for a long time.

But there are some issues regarding its use by Google.Last time it was authorship over any content published on internet using Chrome, and this time it is not very different.When you download Chrome, Google assign a ID number to your browser. Chrome collects informations about your web surfing habits and in combination with the ID number Google gets a nice profile about you.

Some experts says that this is a common approach for Google.Google emphasize on collecting some kind web browsing related habits and history by its various means like web history and other services. According to Google they save it for 2 years after that it is automatically removed from their system and they don't collect any kind of personal information as claimed by rivals and critics.

If you don't want your history to be saved by Google Chrome then you have to remove this ID added by Google in Chrome.Though it is very hard to remove this but we have better option, Unchrome it.Unchrome replaces your unique ID with Null values so that your browser cannot be identified any longer. The functionality of Google Chrome is not influenced by this. You only need to apply UnChrome once.

I hope this is a better option as per todays situation but it would be more better if Google gives you a choice if you want to get a ID or not.That would be a faithfull step towards its user.
