[...]

For now, based on the information that I currently have to go on,
I'd give Google Chrome a thumbs-up from an overall privacy
standpoint, with the proviso that individual users may not wish to
accept all of the provided default privacy settings and should avail
themselves of the ability to disable (or enable) any specific
features as they feel appropriate.

What about the EULA: <http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html>? (Some parts appended below.)
